THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NON-BIBLE BELIEVING PEOPLE RUN A CHURCH

The Church of England says it will accept same-sex marriage, but only if the spouses were a man and woman before changing gender.  What a foolish non-biblical incoherent statement!

The advice means couples will be under no pressure from the church to divorce if one of the transitions. Transgender activists have called the significant shift in direction ‘encouraging’ but accuse the church of still not accepting gender reassignment. The change was revealed ahead of today’s General Synod of bishops – the national assembly of the Church of England. 

THIS IS SIMPLY MADNESS.

A question on whether the church would accept a marriage involving a transgender person is one of more than 100 to be addressed at today’s meeting in York. Prudence Dailey, the churchwarden of Oxford’s St Michael at the North Gate, asked if the church’s definition of marriage as a ‘lifelong and exclusive union between one man and one woman’ still applies if one partner has transitioned. It is thought Christine Hardman, the Bishop of Newcastle will say the church has no right to pull these couples apart. 

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has given his support for transition within marriage. She is expected to say: 

‘When a couple marries in the church they promise before God to be faithful to each other for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health – come what may, although we preach compassion if they find this too much to bear.
‘Secondly, never in the history of the Church has divorce been actively recommended as the way to resolve a problem. ‘We have always prioritized fidelity, reconciliation, and forgiveness, with divorce as a concession when staying together proves humanly unbearable. ‘In the light of those two points, if a couple wishes to remain married after one partner has transitioned, who are we to put them asunder?’ 

Ms. Hardman is head of the pastoral advisory group, which was set up to try and bridge the gap between traditional church members and LGBT activists.

THE GAP CAN ONLY BE REMOVED BY THE REPENTANCE OF SIN NOT ACCEPTANCE OF SIN.

THIS CHURCH IS NO LONGER A CHURCH

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

Christian baker must make ‘wedding’ bakes for gay couples, court rules

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
