One day a Canadian Anglican archbishop will do something that surprises me: today is not that day.
Also unsurprising is the fact that the archbishops seem to enjoy antinomy so much that they have not expunged the “T” from “LGBTQ+”. Probably because it is now a hallowed acronym of canonical veracity that has risen to the status of core doctrine and cannot be tampered with without shaking the fundamental heresies that underpin the entire Anglican Church of Canada. Nevertheless, we should remember that the Ts demand conversion therapy, even though it is biologically impossible and has been responsible for ruining the lives of thousands of children and, no doubt, thousands more before our civilization finishes its unravelling.
The archbishops are as spineless as jellyfish when standing up for the fundamentals of the faith they are paid to defend but, to make up for it, their resolve in sacrificing children on the altar of their unhinged ideology is as firm as can be.
From here:
An international interfaith commission has called for an end to violence against and criminalization of LGBTQ+ people and a global ban on conversion therapy.
The declaration by the Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT+ Lives, which launched Dec. 16, 2020, was signed by around 400 religious leaders from more than 35 countries.
Among the launch signatories of the declaration were Archbishop Linda Nicholls, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada; Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario Archbishop Anne Germond; and Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon Archbishop Melissa Skelton.
[….]
“Our baptismal covenant calls us to respect the dignity of every human being,” Nicholls said when reached for comment by the Journal.
Among the statements contained in the declaration are: an affirmation “that all human beings of different sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions are a precious part of creation and are part of the natural order”; an acknowledgment that religious teachings have perpetuated violence against LGBTQ+ people; a call for all nations to “put an end to criminalization on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity”; and a call “for all attempts to change, suppress or erase a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression—commonly known as ‘conversion therapy’—to end, and for these harmful practices to be banned.”
Yet it seems quite OK for the kind of “conversion therapy” that encourages young people to trade in their actual gender for another gender to be practised quite openly and publicly, and at public expense. Atrocities are being inflicted on young people in the name of “gender identity” and “gender expression.”
Choice, yes or no to practice conversion therapy
It’s up to the person to decide & not decided for them
The so-called bishops in the ACoC — more correctly called apostates – have completely abandoned any vows made at both their initial ordination and consecration and would not know – or even worse refuse to acknowledge the authority of Scripture – and until they are removed from office there is no hope for the ACoC or any other so called Christian church that is prepared to bow to the “god of political expediency”
I formerly thought that this group of Archbishops suffered from Cognitive Dissonance. Many of us would now simply call it Fallaciousness, or maybe Evil. I’m often embarrassed to be associated with the ACoC – this is one of them.
The good news is that only 3 of them signed the ‘declaration’. Why didn’t the Journal ask the other Archbishops why they didn’t sign? Oops, I forgot, that might affect their paycheques.
Cognitive Dissonance indeed.
“Our baptismal covenant calls us to respect the dignity of every human being,” Nicholls said when reached for comment by the Journal.
There are 300 abortions every day in Canada. How can you talk publicly about respecting dignity of every human being when you never address the killing of humans before they can even defend themselves?
There are only 5 archbishops in the ACoC – and all of these 3 signatories are women. What does that say?
‘Let’s be clear: transgender equality is the next rights issue of our time. There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights”,
Democrat Presidential Candidate, Joseph Biden, January 25, 2020;
implemented by sweeping Executive Order January 21, 2021;
revoking the Trump Administration’s May, 2020, restored biology-based definition of sex in federal health care rules as overseen b the Department of Health and Human Services as first introduced to Judaeo-Christian founded America; but nullifed by the Cultural Marxist Obama/Biden Administration – The Episcopal Church USA glad to conform.
Let’s be really clear: The outstanding human rights issue of both the 20c and now the 21c is persecution of Christians, currently and most brutally in Communist China; and now in what once were free Western democracies of those Christians who seek to “reason of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come” Acts 24:25,
as did the Apostle Paul before Claudius Lysias, Festus, Felix, King Agrippa, all of whom upheld Roman Law and acquitted Paul;
it was the transvestite Nero, “the mouth of the lion”, who did not uphold Roman Law and condemned him, II Timothy ch. 4.
The term, “conversion therapy” itself evokes images of electro-shock treatments and psychologically violent interrogation sessions. Most conversion therapy laws do not sufficiently define the term, and would forbid even talking about it, even if someone who is disturbed by unwanted sexual issues wants to.
