Every Friday at noon, the diocese is reciting a Litany of Reconciliation in the Cathedral forecourt. As you can see, it is a real crowd-puller:
The Litany of Reconciliation is prayed at Coventry Cathedral and the Diocese of Niagara has followed suit.
Since the diocese shows no intention of reconciling with those it has most recently injured and actually hates, ANiC churches which left the diocese, the whole charade of reciting this litany is no more than an obscenely hypocritical public display of dishonest, fraudulent virtue, revolting enough to make a rodent vomit.
Easy, David. It is funny, agreed. But remember …. we must forgive those who injured us, for our own sake, and in the Lord. (But not turn our backs on them, of course). Maybe send them a case of wine or something.
You personally should certainly send ex-bishop Humbug a bottle of wine, if you can. Not for his sake, but for your own.
It is definitely NOT funny. The ACoC has lost any credibility from the standpoint of Christian and now worships that detestable “god of political expediency. Indeed we must forgive them but that does not mean we are required to embrace them. If the ACoC honestly desires to return to the GOSPEL it will have to return ALL legally stolen properties to their proper owners. Until that is done we do have the duty to in the right way turn out backs on them.
To whom do they wish to be reconciled? If to whatever first nations band upon whose unceded territory their cathedral is built, as is the current fashion to recite, the solution is simple. Just sell all the real estate and give the land back!
This same Litany of Reconciliation is said at St Paul’s Cathedral in London Ontario.
They want everyone else to reconcile to their way of thinking (RECONCILIATION: Process by which the Orthodox accommodate themselves to progress.- Revised Revisionist Dictionary).
In late June, 2018, before Bishop Harding left from this cathedral to ride his bicycle 75km to the cathedral in Toronto during his cross Canada ride this summer, a service of reconciliation was held just inside the sanctuary with about 30 people in attendance. Bishop Mark MacDonald said some prayers and used a feather in his blessing…
I am finding myself wondering what these four lonely souls are thinking? Are they so obsessed with this delusion that they fail to see that nobody else cares? Are they noticing their ridiculously small number and thinking “what is the point of any of this”? Might they possibly be experiencing any discomfort at that realization that the Anglican church of Canada has lost its voice and influence in this country?
Or are they looking forward to the coffee and cookies that are sure to follow in a post service time of fellowship?
