Speed the swiftly departing congregation

Consider:

IN THE last week or so, two emails from Church of England HQ have hit my Mum’s inbox. Could this be a promise of more support for her work as vicar of eight village churches without even a curate? Could it be a response to her query about legal protection if she refuses to marry a trans person to a member of the same sex? Of course not. Like 95 per cent of the communications from bishops and central Church authorities the emails reflected the Church’s new priorities – Net Zero and ‘Racial Justice’. It would appear that preaching the gospel of salvation in Christ is passé.
The last Church building I was in was Chester cathedral, not for reason of any overt apostasy but over the "not fit for purpose" hypocrisy.  For a church [meaning the body of believers worldwide rather than stones and mortar], pointy hatters carrying on in support of the globo climate scam or BLM is the last [Jack] straw.

There was a certain gentleman who was wont to call the priesthood "whited sepulchres" and spoke things such as:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Sounds pretty good to me.  Were it to appear on Gab today, I think I'd click the follow button for sure.

  1. And isn't it just typical/appropriate that the person complaining about the woke Church is in fact a beneficiary of that very wokeness. A female Vicar, no less.

    The road we are so far down now towards depravity and corruption was first trod by those demanding 'equality' for women. Look at any institution or organisation spouting such, and you'll see first women demanding preferences, privileges and power within it (and in the process utterly destroying the actual core function to further their 'feeling special'), followed by those using other 'victimhood claims' (race, sexuality, etc.) seeing their 'success' and saying "we want some of that too".

    The result? Predictably, exactly what we see now.

    Every culture, country and civilisation has expressly/specifically barred women fro the reigns of power. I wonder /sarc

  2. I lost my faith, not in Christianity but in the CofE, when I was about to be confirmed.This was around 1972, the time when the King James book of prayer and Bible were being replaced by 'relevant' translations. Church organs gave way to guitars and tambourines. This was long before woke became a thing, the signs were there even then. Of all the religions Christianity has been targeted for destruction. Compare that hatred with the pandering to other religions and ask yourself why.
