Neither male nor female

The diocese of St Davids has a new website. After a brief reference to problems imposed by the Covid-19 virus the site features first and foremost the Bishop of St Davids noting: "She is the first woman to be appointed bishop in the Church in Wales, following the Governing Body’s decision in September 2013 to enable women’s ordination to the episcopate."

Similarly at the enthronement of Cherry Vann as Bishop of Monmouth: "guests were all there to see the first woman bishop take her seat – or ‘throne’ – at Newport Cathedral."

Fond of (mis)quoting Galatians 3:28 supporters of the ordination of women have been telling people that there is neither male nor female so why do they have to keep emphasising their sex? It is all about feminism and power regardless of the cost to others.

At the 2017 services of celebration held in Wales' six Anglican cathedrals to mark 20 years since the Church in Wales first ordained women priests, Bishops’ Adviser for Church and Society, Canon Carol Wardman, was the preacher at Brecon Cathedral. Following the example of "bullshitting" Barry Morgan she put her own interpretation on Galatians 3:28.

Self-centred feminist claims about so-called equality and gender fluidity have been brought to a head in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Higher death rates for men brutally emphasise what, to the majority of us, was self evident:  Men and women are biologically different.

The Department of Health and Social Care have announced a review of "emerging evidence to suggest that #coronavirus may be having a disproportionate impact on some ethnic groups, as well as certain genders."

For 'certain genders' read 'men'.

"..our acceptance of our bodies and biological sex is a mere social construct, not a physical reality. It tells young children that they have an ‘inner gender identity’ which may or may not align with their biological sex." - From ‘Free to Be’ produced by a group called EqualiTeach.

No male and female but yes to transgender!

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.
