The Church of England Is So Very Awesome

 

The venerable Church of England's attracting hundreds of thousands of Britons to its pews because it's so  very, very gay. Except that it it's not, COE numbers are plummeting and that's really weird because all the millions of LGBTQ+ people in the UK should be flocking to the nation's premiere rainbow conventicle. But they're not.

So strange. Now that the throne of Augustine's so gaily inclusive, all the colors of the rainbow, you'd think it would have grown by leaps and bounds. Unless we go gay, said the pundits, no one will take us seriously. 

Mirabile dictu, lo and behold, go figure, no sh*t Sherlock they're not, which is why the venerable if shrinking Church of England's average Sunday attendance has fallen off a cliff, from some 1.3 million people a Sunday in 1980 to a miserable 600k or so today.

And this is weird, it should be the other way around. Now that the UK's so gay, you'd think the gen pop would head to the gayest church around, right? But they haven't, they've stayed home, polishing the proverbial Baphomet.

At some point, gentle readers, all two of you, this insane, satanic craze will end leaving a lot of people feeling really stoopid as they clutch their dirty little rainbow flag.

Diocese of Toronto Goes Full Rainbow

Just in case you thought it hadn't happened already, news is in that the Anglican Diocese of Toronto's gone full rainbow, with it's suffragan bishop marrying his partner, Mr. Mohan Sharma.

Assistant bishop Kevin Robertson married Mohan Sharma at a gay marriage ritual presided over by the Bishop Figure of Niagara Susan Bell, in a rainbow worship ceremony in St. James Cathedral.

The Diocese of Toronto congratulated the lucky couple while asking "who put the squirrel in the middle":

"The Diocese of Toronto congratulates Bishop Kevin Robertson and Mr. Mohan Sharma, who were married today at St. James Cathedral in the presence of their two children, their families and many friends, including Archbishop Colin Johnson and Bishop Andrew Asbil. We wish them much joy in their marriage."

Perhaps you think this is some kind of pathetic joke. You'd be right in thinking that. 

Over the rainbow,

Forward in Faith U.K. Craven Sell-Outs?

Don't get me wrong, I like English Anglo-Catholicism, but why is the Vice Chairperson of Forward in Faith U.K. attending gay pride rallies?

 She was probably just "having fun" but whatever, not good PR. See Anglican Mainstream. Here's someone's take on it:

In the approach to the fateful meeting of the Church of England’s General Synod, beginning 11 July, all the signs indicate that, unlike the more numerous evangelical opponents to women bishops, ‘catholics’ will now only be offering a token resistance. Their hope appears to be a lasting, honoured place in the bosom of the liberal Establishment. But toleration will not be extended to them for long – not because of their glaring theological incoherence – today’s Church of England does not have a serious concern for theology – but because no amount of ‘gay pride’ will be able to absolve them of the unforgivable sin of ‘sex discrimination’. With no allies at home or abroad and with nowhere else to go, the forward march already begun can lead to only one destination: complete absorption.

Dobby

Of course the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, popularly known as "Dobby", would probably approve.
