Scottish churches demand Council apology over 'illegal and discriminatory' Franklin Graham booking cancellation

Image
Church leaders in Scotland have written to Glasgow City Council calling for an immediate reversal of the decision to cancel the booking of Franklin Graham at the city's SEC arena. Despite contracts being signed, the Council urged the venue to reconsider, claiming the US evangelist's appearance would cause division. The opposition is linked to previous comments he had made about homosexuality.  The cancellation was one of eight arenas who told Graham that he was no longer welcome.  The evangelist subsequently launched legal action to get the decision overturned. A Scottish court has fast-tracked a legal case lodged by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) in relation to the recent cancellation of an event set to feature Christian preacher and evangelist, Franklin Graham. Glasgow's Scottish Event Campus terminated its booking contract with BGEA after pressure from LGBT activists who insisted that Graham was homophobic and should not be given a platform in ...

LGBT Zealots force venues to reject US Pastor

Image
US evangelist Franklin Graham has told Premier he won't let venue cancellations stop him preaching the good news to the UK this summer. The preacher, son of the late great Billy Graham, is due to visit eight cities across the country but has been dealt a number of blows as all eight venues have canceled, citing the division that his appearance would cause. The concern is linked to previous comments Graham has made about homosexuality. A number of LGBT groups have petitioned to encourage venues to cancel, while a number of bishops have opposed the visit. Unrepentant, the 67-year-old told Premier his views aren't different to most Christians. "I believe the Bible teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman," he said. "That's the Church of England's position. I think Her Majesty the Queen, that's her position and it's the position of the Church, pretty much worldwide. This is what the Bible teaches and that's what I believe....

Franklin Graham explores legal action over venue cancellations

Image
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is looking at legal options for breach of contract after a series of venues canceled its bookings. Franklin Graham was due to preach at eight venues across Britain this summer, but all canceled his gospel events because of opposition to his views on homosexuality. In an interview with Premier Christian Radio, he apologized to those who felt offended by his views but clearly stated he still believes marriage is the union of one man and one woman. ‘We’re coming’ Graham said: “We’re coming. Some people think we may have canceled, but we’re not canceling anything, we’re coming, and we’re looking forward to being with the church and working beside the church.” Responding to those opposing his visit, he said: “I think there’s a real misunderstanding. We’re not here to preach against anyone. “But we’re here to tell everyone how they can have their sins forgiven, and how they can have a relationship with God through faith in his son J...

Third UK stadium bars Franklin Graham from preaching to appease LGBT activists

Image
A third United Kingdom venue has canceled an appearance by American missionary Franklin Graham.  Earlier this week, stadiums in the English cities of Sheffield and   Liverpool   bowed to pressure from LGBT activists and their “allies” to bar Graham, the son of the world-famous evangelist Billy Graham, from preaching.   Now Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus (SEC) Hydro has done the same.  Pauline Gallagher  said  she was “saddened” that the Protestant evangelical had been barred from her city.  “I am saddened beyond words that Billy Graham's son has been banned from speaking in Glasgow,” Gallagher said.  “The dividing line is not between religious and LGBT. It is between reasonable and unreasonable people,” she continued.  “High profile commentators like Douglas Murray and Andrew Doyle in the U.K. and Dave Rubin in the U.S., who are gay, are speaking out for the rights of religious people to express their beliefs.” ...

Franklin Graham responds after UK event canceled for 'incompatible' LGBTQ views

Image
Christian Evangelist Franklin Graham penned an open letter to the LGBTQ community in the United Kingdom after an event there was canceled for "incompatible" statements . The son of the late Billy Graham was labeled a "homophobic hate preacher" by the Liverpool Labour LGBT Network, who wrote in a letter that they fear  "Graham's appearance may incite hateful mobilization and risk the security of our LGBTQ+ community.  We are writing for support from our locally elected council representatives in response to the platforming of homophobic hate preacher Franklin Graham at the M&S Arena on the 12th of June 2020.  We fear that with such a high profile event gaining traction, Graham’s appearance may incite hateful mobilisation and risk the security of our LGBTQ+ community.  We ask the council to stand with our community in counter mobilisation, including refusing to host Graham’s roadshow at venues where the local authority has a stake." HOW DOES...

Stadium bars Franklin Graham from preaching to appease LGBT activists, Graham responds

Image
It is said by some,' Graham wrote after his event was canceled, 'that I am coming to the UK to bring hateful speech to your community. This is just not true.' A leading American evangelist has responded to the cancellation of his appearance with a Gospel message. The Rev. Franklin Graham, who was supposed to appear at the ACC Liverpool Stadium on June 12 of this year, issued the following statement on social media yesterday: A letter to the LGBTQ community in the UK — It is said by some that I am coming to the UK to bring hateful speech to your community. This is just not true. I am coming to share the Gospel, which is the Good News that God loves the people of the UK, and that Jesus Christ came to this earth to save us from our sins. The rub, I think, comes in whether God defines homosexuality as sin. The answer is yes. But God goes even further than that, to say that we are all sinners — myself included. The Bible says that every human being is guilty of sin a...

Inauguration Prayers from Traditional Family Leaders

Image
English: Bishop Gene Robinson of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire, at Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist, San Francisco, in 2005 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Inaugurations have historically included prayers from religious leaders whose prayers featured in the inauguration ceremony represent the ideology and often the agenda of the incoming president. President Obama chose prayers who reflected the historically inclusive nature of his election. He invited the immoral homosexual Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson who essentially has split the UK Anglicans and now divorced his homosexual partner - to offer a prayer at his 2009 inauguration. Of course those prayer did not go to God but to Satan as Robinson is performing the duties of his deity. The   Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson , then Moderator of the LGBTQ community serving Metropolitcan Community Church, read scripture at the 2013 interfaith prayer breakfast. Again, Metro is an apostate church who leader is no...
