| Altar frontal! Source: Twitter |
The main focus in a church is the altar where the eucharist is celebrated.
The altar frontal should be of the colour of the day, offering no distraction from Christ's sacrificial death.
Substituting a Progress Pride flag as the altar frontal diverts attention away from Christ's sacrifice to a form of political activism, in this case advancing the cause of a particular group engaged in activities contrary to biblical teaching.
The Progress Pride flag differs from the gay pride in that it includes the Intersex community. What next one wonders?
Described as a "beautiful altar frontal in a friend's church" this is the second time I have seen it on Twitter of late.
Presumably the 'friend' is @RevdJacquiT whose original tweet is no longer visible to all because the account owner has since limited access to approved followers. However, some of the responses to her original tweet are still visible here, including "God knew exactly what she was doing in calling you"!
We have been here before - see The big lie. Misuse of the sacred leads to indifference and loss of mystery, the 'otherness' that set the church apart.
