| Pride Eucharist. Vicar of Abergavenny with bishop Cherry Vann at St Mary's Priory. Source: Twitter |
From the Church Times: "Love knows no boundaries":
"The Rt Revd Anthony Poggo, the newly appointed secretary-general of the Anglican Communion (News, 14 June), preached from the parable of the Good Samaritan, noting how Jesus did not praise either the priest or the Levite in the story, but the foreign outsider.
" 'Love knows no cultural, religious, tribal or national boundary,' Bishop Poggo said, urging those listening to remember the suffering of those in Ukraine, the Congo, and elsewhere. His homeland of South Sudan had seen three rounds of displacement thanks to conflict, he said — he and his family had been among the millions who sought refuge in neighbouring Uganda, their own good Samaritan."

That is a distortion of the truth and an insult to those referred to by Bishop Poggo who are suffering and dying for their faith.
Abergavenny Pride did not celebrate philia or agape. What the Pride movement celebrates is eros.
All the worse because the majority of Anglicans, particularly in Africa have no truck with the twisted thinking of bishops of the Church in Wales and other Western provinces in which the bible is being interpreted to mean not what has been understood over centuries but to convey a message supportive of a non-biblical lifestyle.
Both in same sex relationships, the bishop recently rewarded the vicar with a canonry. Few can have done more to help queer the Church in Wales.
They have no shame. Having highjacked the Church the Holy Eucharist is now being used to promote the gay pride movement in what has become a secularised institution, drawing-in innocent children. Indoctrination has become widespread.
They talk about love but no love is shown for faithful Anglicans left with no sacramental and pastoral oversight following the untimely death in 2017 of Bishop David Thomas RIP. Just unsubstantiated accusations of homophobia against anyone who refuses to become complicit by going along with the new order, accepting what the majority of Anglicans know to be wrong based on biblical truths.
When Bishop David Thomas died in 2017 the best part of the Church in Wales died with him.
Stomach churning.
ReplyDeleteNot only have the deviants taken over they're busy spreading their twisted lifestyles to the young and impressionable.
There is no longer any sin and you can all do whatever you like.
But where are the parents?
The children need bread but the Cult in Wales is giving them a stone.
Did they seek, and have they obtained, permission to publish that image from the parents/guardians of that young lad?

DeleteIs this the matter to which you refer?
🤣
It is.
DeleteI wonder if the "Baptist Trainfan" is acquainted with that particular star of the show?
The sermon sounds like typical revisionism aimed at bringing in an LGBTQrs angle. As I quoted 10 days ago on my blog,
ReplyDelete"whilst the allegorical reading has major problems, it has at least noted one thing of importance: it is the Samaritan who is taking the part of Jesus in the story. We might want, then, to reflect further and understand theologically that, beaten and bruised as we have been by sin, it is Jesus who has refused to pass by on the other side, but who has brought us help and healing by paying the price that was needed for us.
This is not to rob the story (pun not intended!) of its moral force—but it shifts the register. We do not help others because we ‘ought’ to, but because we have received for ourselves from Jesus the life-changing compassion which we then share with those around us, as part of sharing the love of God in word and deed."

DeleteBewildered
I didn't think it would be long before this picture appeared on this site. So very predictable. AB you have an obsession with this issue. You give it prominence on your blog whenever you can. It's no longer an issue for the majority of people in this country - indeed, marriage is now equal in the secular world. You really do need to get over this once and for all.
ReplyDeleteTP
The fact is that Cherry the Lesbian published it on Twitter first, giving it prominence and demonstrating her own obsession with the issue before AB responded.
DeleteYou must really try much harder to get your facts straight.
But is "straight" even in your vocabulary?
What you fail to grasp TP is that the Church in these lands is a laughing stock. On the website of a national newspaper this very day, more than 200 comments decried the Church of England's policy of turning a blind eye to sexual practice and ethics. Many people do not understand how the Church can have a Bible that clearly forbids gay sex, yet this country has churches falling over themselves to offer blessings on gay marriages.
DeleteThe Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the Vatican issued a statement when the German Catholic Bishops' Conference asked if it were possible to offer German Catholics in gay marriages a blessing. The answer was unequivocal. Homosexuality is a sin, and God does not bless sin.
In our baptism, we promise to "fight against sin, the world, and the devil", which as I see it, is all that AB is doing in his own way. The Cult in Wales has jumped into bed with the world. Sin no longer exists, and as for the devil, he is just allowed to run amok. The plankers are more concerned with the gay agenda and their Pride eucharists than ever they are with defeating sin, the world, and the devil. The good news is that the Cult has got 8 years left on current forecasts, and at that point, the good Lord will remove the lampstand from its place.

If "it's no longer an issue for the majority of people in this country" then why do the BBC luvvies along with the Cult in Wales and the Church of England constantly bang on about it and ceaselessly push the LGBTQIA+ alphabet agenda?
DeleteThe reality is, as usual, that the vast silent majority of the population don't give a damn about the homosexual /trans lobby or the churches.
They have far more important things to worry about.
Here's the latest example of the BBC agenda being promoted by the misuse of TV licence payers' money.
Deletehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-62250849
The talk of their so-called 'core values' sickens me.
The other agenda being pushed endlessly by the BBC is women's sport, soccer in particular at the moment, constantly spouting fluff and guff about breaking records for crowd attendances etc.
DeleteWith everything else going on in the world I fail to understand why such nonsense is even news, much less worthy of the headlines.
TP, you live in the secular world a world where anything goes but we Bible believing Christians have the Holy Spirit and it is our duty to rebuke evil and especially the evil that has permeated our church with the full authority of God.

So much for a "Pride Eucharist".
ReplyDeleteAll I see from the photographs is an empty Church.
If the picture paints a thousand words then it says it all. Perfectly.
Well spotted Sister.
DeleteBut isn't the term 'Pride Eucharist' is an oxymoron?
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins and we were clearly instructed by the main man himself that the Eucharist was to take place ' in remembrance of me'.
How and when did that simple instruction become twisted into 'Do this in celebration of all things homosexual'?
And doesn't it demonstrate a rather sick message about her two-fingers apathy to the mass of 'straight', traditionalists of the Church-in-Wales that Bishop Vann and her lesbo/homo ilk chose Abergavenny's St. Mary's Priory Church to wave their banners and flaunt their weird interpretations of what Christ intended for Christendom ... the very church where Bishop David Thomas's Requiem Mass was celebrated only a few years ago. Given the chance they'd have danced on his grave too ...!
ReplyDeleteOr much, much worse?
DeleteDesecrating the altar and sanctuary goes unpunished.
Quite the opposite AdC.
DeleteIt makes perfect sense.
Cherry wants to plant her queer church seedlings in the Parishes where she perceives the most resistance will exist.
Wipe out or evict the traditionalists from their strongholds and the rest will be a pushover.
Satan is dancing a jig to Cherry's tune.
The August edition of Hornby Magazine announces the imminent arrival of an oo model of the Avanti West Coast PRIDE train. Soon little boys and girls may dream not just of being an engine driver but of owning a nine-coach high speed train decked out in the rainbow colours. Perhaps Cherry could install a track in St Woolos so that the Sunday School (do they still have one?) can thrill to watch it eternally chasing its own a**se - or should that be tail?
ReplyDeleteI had to book a Transpenine train from Glasgow to Lancs to avoid the chance of having to get on it; did see it pass through Birmingham. Hopefully hornby will find that they have a few left over
DeletePerhaps the under-employed archbishoprick Andy might like to go and bless it. I know as a fact that the original Hornby family (I was big chum of inheritor Tony Hornby-Mason) were staunch Anglo-catholic and as straight as a rail-track. They'd have been appalled!

These people should be nowhere near Church leadership, and indeed wouldn't have been in the past. How much lower can they go in chasing relevance and popularity (and gaining neither), and how condescending of them, damaging posterity and tradition by following their private LGBT desires.

The alphabet people want to mimic Sturgeon and her squalid attempts at IndyRef2.
You only have to read the comments here to see that there is no need to play at being the victim. The way LGBT people are discussed and debated here attempts to rob them of any dignity. So I very much admire those in the above picture who hold their heads with unashamed dignity amid the shameful attitudes that still appear to surround them in the church. That’s the true meaning of pride - holding one’s head high when faced with the sinfulness of those who would dare shame and diminish your identity as a child of God; there’s a strength in those who are able to do that.
DeleteTruePride
I see no dignity, merely publicity-seeking posturing and posing for the camera.
DeleteThere's nothing and nobody surrounding them.
The church is quite empty as their photograph proves.
They shame and diminish themselves (except they're shameless) and the true meaning of "Pride" is holding their own heads high, refusing to face their own sinfulness before God in his own house.
Instead of taking such pride in their flaunted "Pride", a little humility wouldn't go amiss before the proverbial fall occurs.
You're wrong Enoch - it's a shame you don't see it. Blinded by your prejudice and, worse still, you call on God to defend you in that injustice. That's called the sin against the Holy Spirit.
DeleteI'm done with this site once and for all - it's evil.

DeleteJustin Welby says he wants to remain at Lambeth/Canterbury until he's 70 thus making him the longest serving Primate for 50+ years because he's enjoying the 'job' while at the same time recognising that growing numbers of delegates from overseas Anglican (including Commonwealth) countries are snubbing the General Synod due to the same-sex marriage positions of Wales, Scotland, etc. Is he mad or just deaf? As for the chaplain to the Synod Enoch: why give them special facilities. Question is: who appoints these weaklings in the first place? Yep: the same loopy Synod. I'm amazed that the Press/Media still gives this outdated amateur Rep any publicity. The audience isn't clapping.

I think we need to be careful about demonising the Affirming wing of the church. Many, if not most, are sincere in their belief that Christianity can accommodate same-sex relationships. Many are lovely people and are committed to their significant others in a way that we'd describe as fidelity if we were talking about a traditional Christian marriage.
ReplyDeleteHowever, that being said - if we wan't an Apostolic faith that is true to their inspired teaching, we have to conclude they are sincerely wrong. There is no argument that the Apostles would have countenanced same-sex relationships in the early church. To argue that they would if they have been alive today is moot - they weren't. In obedience to Christ they delivered a 'faith once delivered to the saints', this cannot change. There can be novel interpretations that have a cogent bias in scripture but the case for SSM is a million miles away from passing first muster. I'm sorry, really I am, but my conscience cannot accept the generalisations used to argue for it. Also the argument that goes, 'he's a really great priest and he's gay, therefore God must be okay with it' is flawed since, 'for the gifts and the callings of God are without repentance' (Romans 11:29). Gifts demonstrated are not synonymous with God's blessing or approval. They are not the same thing. Article 26 speaks of the 'Unworthiness of Ministers' that hinders not the blessing of the sacrament.
What we need to do is be courageous, kind yet intellectually robust in our arguments for they are on our side. Just throwing our arms up in the air in disgust isn't going to help. Many errors have come in throughout church history and Christians struggled to rectify them over time. I am not yet ready to give up or stop talking to those who disagree with me even if they unfairly characterise me as a homophobe simply for believing what Christians and Anglicans have always been taught to believe.

DeleteWell said Sir/Madam.
DeleteIt's not as if there aren't dozens of empty church buildings around the place being sold off cheap is it?
Might well prevent some of them being converted into mosques too.
Win win.
WHAMAB, I couldn't agree more. What amazes me is the amount of people who push SSM, and still claim that they are Catholic. True Catholicism is what all Christians, at all times, and in all places, have believed. As you have indicated, the apostles most certainly did not believe this, and nor would their converts. The subsequent epochs of the Christian Church have not believed it. It is yet another fallacy that someone can be Catholic in their thinking and practice, whilst behaving and promoting what their forebears never believed.

@Whamab
DeleteSincerity is not the issue, surely?
The Greeks sincerely believed their Gods lived on Mount Olympus, the Romans sincerely believed in their Pantheon and the Norsemen sincerely believed in Valhalla.
As far as I am concerned, the alphabet people can sincerely believe in white unicorns that sh*t pink candyfloss under a rainbow every morning.
But I sincerely object to them queering the Church whilst subjecting traditionalists to false allegations of a variety of imagined and manufactured phobias if and when anyone speaks out against their lifestyle choices.
"what the majority of Anglicans know to be wrong based on biblical truths" In fact what everyone knows, based on what the bible says. There is no debate on what the bible says. Catholics, Anglicans, Muslims, atheists, all agree on what the bible says. It just the response that differs. Faithful Christians stick to biblical principles. Atheists masquerading as priests (i.e. CiW leaders) ignore the bible when it suits their sinful agenda.
