Following in the footsteps of her sister bishop Joanna in St Davids who has made appointing women a priority while seeking to rid her diocese of elderly male priests by sending them 'Dear John' letters in thanksgiving for many years of devoted service to Christ, the bishop of Llandaff has appointed the Revd Dr Jan van der Lely to be Canon Chancellor according to Church Times 'appointments'.
Llandaff Cathedral previously announced the appointment as a new Residentiary Canon.
There are other similarities. Both bishops have an appetite for getting passionately involved in liberalising the Church. June with her megaphone and Joanna with her microphone using the Church to push their sex and gender agendas.
Following the import of the Church of England's first transgender priest, jolly June has imported the Chair of Modern Church to be Canon Chancellor of Llandaff Cathedral.
Among the Vice Presidents of Modern Church are the Most Revd Barry Morgan, former Archbishop of Wales and the Very Revd Prof Martyn Percy, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford. Say no more!
Modern Church promotes liberal theology with resources on marriage, sexuality & gender identity. Right up June's street!
The whole armour of God has become redundant for anyone who wants to succeed in the Church in Wales. All that is needed is a rainbow scarf and knickers.
I hear the knickers are optional AB.

Got it in one, AB. Just as Barry the Golfer thought he could 'reform' Llandaff by flooding it with women and liberal male clergy, so June will try to turn it into a club for Mumsies who have failed to get anywhere in the Church of England (cf Peggy the Pilate). It is just another indicator of the desperate situation that the Church in Wales finds itself: we are reduced to providing a rescue service for everyone else's cast offs.
ReplyDelete….and now Jolly June of the Osborne family will entertain you with her impersonation of an Anglican Bishop followed by her rendition of that popular song from the days of World War 1 "We don't want to loose you but we think you ought to go."
