Nothing is so bad as to kick a man when he is down.<br />Although we don't see eye to eye on everything I sense a deep spiritual insight in your blogs. And yes, sadly the Church in Wales under the leadership of Morgan is leading us to nothing short than apostasy. His arrogance is without doubt, his main attribute.<br /><br />Heather EvansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-64675357094190057662011-09-11T21:33:23.692+01:002011-09-11T21:33:23.692+01:00Heather, I've now had a good read following th...Heather, I've now had a good read following the links the best I could. The gist of it suggests a wider dissatisfaction in the Church in Wales than already recorded in other Blogs. Indeed, the sub-heading 'A - Z GUIDE ON CHURCH SCANDALS' suggests that there is more to come following in the footsteps of 'Scandal and Offence at http://www.church-insider.com/ <br /><br />Most of the information I receive comes from the Llandaff diocese so I do not have sufficient knowledge to comment on the detail. However, the case of the Reverend Geraint ap Iorwerth was widely reported and perhaps it is this that interests you.<br /><br />Watching the report at<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14257755<br />it is interesting that none of the Rector's parishioners was bothered by his 'artwork' which suggests that, in context, the Rector was able to covey the message he intended. There are frightening passages in the Bible and weighing these against the "positive, healing and reconciling words" he starkly demonstrated the outcome of his work. <br /><br />I found the fuss about burning the remaining fragments absurd. What better way of disposing of the remains than burning the fragments reminiscent of incense rising to heaven? All the alternatives I have considered are far less appropriate. The exercise was not to everyone's taste. Art never is but an important point has been lost amidst the furore: the Rector started to "re-read the Bible at the beginning of Lent. How many Christians can say that.<br /><br />So far as the exercise itself is concerned, the important point is what the Bible tells us as a whole and how Jesus saw things. Picking and choosing lands us in all sorts of trouble, not least picking up on something that does not appear in the Bible to justify unilaterally changing the tradition of the church to justify secular ambitions. What greater offence can there be than separating us from the the rest of the universal Church with the hope of unity which Christ Himself prayed for? "Bazzer" can't escape that one.AncientBritonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357913998344777403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019954714374602353.post-20749965643258151462011-09-11T12:54:49.946+01:002011-09-11T12:54:49.946+01:00Hello Heather.
