Reeling from the Holy See's decision to turn all Roman Catholic churches, cathedrals, monasteries, convents and chapels into mosques, we turn to the venerable Worldwide Anglican Non Communion (WANC). What's WANC been up to? Quite a lot.
WANC's leader, Archbishop Justin "Chinos" Welby has been meeting with Egypt's Grand Imam. Good work, Justsin, Archbishop of Canterdhimmi. Conservative Anglicans, represented by the Global Anglican Future's Conference (GAFCON), haven't been slow either.
Jerusalem
GAFCON III was held in Jeruslalem this summer, the largest international meeting of Anglicans of its kind in decades. And more power to it, GAFCON stands against the clownish cultural marxism of mainstream, first world Anglicanism. Stand by the revealed Word of God, thunders GAFCON, and here at the Compound we agree.
Why then does GAFCON allow its various provinces to ordain women as priests? Good question, surely not because of First World bribes and CMS fostered disbelief in sacramental priesthood. Regardless, good luck to this evangelical protest against gay marriage rituals.
A Typical Austin Tranny
Speaking of which, the Episcopal Church met in Austin, predictably, for its triennial General Convention. On the agenda? Should we make our Prayer Book Even More Gay and should every Episcopalian be able to get a Gay Wedding Ritual (Resolution B012). The former failed, the latter passed to rapturous applause.
Up until this summer, dioceses in the Episcopal Church were able to decide whether or not they'd be gay, it was up to the bishop. If the bishop felt gay the whole diocese went gay, if not, not so much.
Crazed
But this has changed. Thanks to GC79, it's up to the local priest figure to decide if the church will go gay and do a same sex marriage ceremony. Sorry, straight bishops, all 8 you, your diocese has to go gay even if you don't like it.
Demented
Leaving aside the rainbow riding idiocracy of it all, we have to wonder if Apostolic Order means anything in the Episcopal Church. Stupid question, of course not, all means ALL in Presiding Bishop Figure Michael Curry's Jesus Movement, unless of course you're a Christian.
Inside The Cockpit
Good luck, Bishop Dan Martins et al, you'll need it.
Covenant Communion Partners Forever,

I was raised in the Episcopal church and its decline saddens me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to react to all of this WANCism. It's sad. It's beyond a place where I can be sarcastic and snarky as they descend into the pit and embrace its doctrines and practices.
ReplyDeleteIt does me too, Jim, though I enjoy making fun of its clownishness on this shallow mind blog. But maybe there's a value in that -- if more people had exposed these goons to the ridicule they deserve, things might be better. The left, like Satan himself, hates being laughed at...
ReplyDeleteBut LL, picture the MANTIS PEOPLE. They're well ensconced inside the cockpit of the sinking ship.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's the solution -- let them sink the vessel and rescue the survivors, lifeboat style. Of course someone has to be afloat to do that.
