To celebrate Pride Month (yes, it’s a whole month now), Christ Church Deer Park Anglican church in the Diocese of Toronto is putting on a Pride Celebration Service and Drag Show with Vanity a la Mode, Jada Hudson, Carlotta Carlisle and Kyle Miller. I’m not recommending that you click on those links but they are there if you simply must.
Someone asked:
child friendly or adults only?
The answer, lending an entirely new meaning to “child friendly”, was:
Absolutely child friendly.
Free Beer!
Does not that poster violate some standards of advertising ? No, I don’t mean the utter tasteless salacity, nor the “free” beer. I mean the claim of the business hosting this event to be a “church”.
I am afraid to ask, but what is a “Gospel drag show”?
When Satan gets a hold on any claimed Christian Church he will not be content until he takes right over. Clearly the apostates within the ACoC and other so called liberal churches are quite willing to support this endeavour. It is long since past the time for true Christians to take a firm stand against apostasy.
From where do you drag this stuff up, David? (No pun intended).
Someone sent me this one. I seem to be a magnet for such communications.
With not a little of ACC inspiration along the way in the redefinition of matters sexual and Christian marriage, in their 1st Redommendation, the PCC proposes:
“holds two parallel definitions of marriage”;either “man or woman” or “two adult persons”.
The qualifier for marriage? “faithful, Holy Spirit filled, Christ centered, God honouring”.
Reassuring to see Deer Park thus qualifying.
Will St. Andrew’s, King Street, and Knox, Spadina go and do likewise?
Rosedale already has.
Meanwhile, one faithful fifth of the PCC, the Korean Christians, are without a Church ‘home’;some already had been worshiping in schools. and other public facilities.
TRINITY + + + Sunday, June 16, 2019
The official word is out as found in the Minutes of the 145 PCCGA:
“At times of great stress, it seems our differences are insurmountable. In truth, we differ theologically on many things: the role of scripture, the virgin birth, the resurrection, the place of children, of women and the priorities of the church”.
This the PCC’s apologia for its June 6, 2019, Option B LGBTQI “Inclusion” as presented by its Committee of Implications Dr. Faustus Convener; this anti-Scriptural issue emanating originally,1994, in St. Columba-by-the-Lake, Presbytery of Montreal; latterly, 2014 et seq. Rosedale, Presbytery of E. Toronto, whose Minister and GA Commissioner Ruling Elder now would reformulate Biblical Church Doctrine on the Christian definition of marriage.
The Committee’s Scriptural warrant for their Recommendations?
+ Acts 10, 11 (Cornelius), and 15, The Jerusalem Council’s presenting “new and daunting challenges”.
To interpret fornication, which Holy Scripture forbids, and defines as any sexual life taking place outside of The Christ of Holy Scripture’s Sola + Matthew 19 definition of marriage as covenanted between one male and one female, as now permissible between “two adults” of the same sex, and assign its ‘orthodox’ Biblical sanction to the very Council that, also on the Sola foundation of Holy Scripture, forbad it, has plumbed the pit of apostasy.
Some Context. Kevin Robertson was the minister at this church for five years before being elected as a suffragan bishop of Toronto in September 2016. Kevin got .married. to another man in December 2018.
The church website promotes this event differently, saying “Happy Pride 2019! Join us for Church on Tap on June 14 at 7pm for a fully inclusive and informal service of Holy Eucharistic. Bring a friend – the service is followed by a pub that serves cold beer.”
