Galatians 3:28 has for years been used and abused by progressives in the Church to justify their gender agenda.
There may be no male and female in their book but officially there are trans-gendered.
Transgender people who were baptized into Christ and clothed themselves with Christ can now be re-clothed according to guidance issued by the Church of England.
New pastoral guidance encourages clergy to be “creative and sensitive” in using liturgy to enable people to mark a major transition in their lives. It formally commends the incorporation of the existing rite for the Affirmation of Baptismal Faith into services which mark gender transition. It advises that the occasion should have a distinct “celebratory character”.
The guidance emphasises that "the Church of England welcomes and encourages the unconditional affirmation of trans people, equally with all people within the body of Christ, and rejoices in the diversity of that body into which all Christians have been baptized by one Spirit."
"All people" should be interpreted as some people. Those who the progressives favour, not orthodox Anglicans.

ReplyDeleteThe BBC can be relied upon to push the agenda too.
Does the soul have a gender then? Is the Church of England saying that there is a 'male soul' and a 'female soul'? What or where is the locus of the maleness of the 'male soul' and the femaleness of the 'female soul'? And how do we know that these are not self induced constructs of the human mind ? And where is the science of all of this?
ReplyDeleteSorry I remain, yours sincerely, totally confused of Llandrindod Wells.
PP. I have always understood that our soul is sex less, in that, as spiritual beings we have no need of earthly trappings. But this is only one view in an ever changing fluid theology.
