The Ontario House of Bishops claims in the letter below that a “diversity of theological positions” lurks somewhere in its midst, ready to spring out and surprise everyone. To demonstrate this diversity, the bishops are all making the same point by signing a letter complaining that Bishop Kevin Robertson’s husband… wife? let’s stick to the nondescript “spouse” has not been invited to Lambeth 2020.
Here is the diverse bunch, including, on the right, Michael Bird even though he is an ex-bishop. You will notice in the very centre is what appears to be a robotic bishop from whom, I suspect, flow all the deeper nuances of theological diversity that were used to program the drones surrounding it:
And here is the letter:
Nice to have a photograph. Interesting, you have 12 bishops in the ecclesiastical province of Ontario. Out here in B.C., we have 6 bishops.It would be interesting to know the marital history of the bishops. I believe, we have 3 male bishops, all married in a proper, heterosexual state. We now have 3 female bishops. Two of these female bishops are single (divorced) women. And the third is a remarried woman. While I don’t want to make too much out of this, I will comment, no wonder the Anglican Church is confused about its theology of marriage. ( Incidentally, there will be a consecration next week, of bishop-elect Lyn McNaughton, diocese of Kootenays, John Privetts old diocese.) ( I suppose some of the heavy weights, like Fred Hiltz, will be out here.)
Yes, it’s so often a matter of the pot’s calling the kettle white, isn’t it?
What further proof is needed to show the ACoC has abandoned any semblance of the truth. It has abandoned any authority of Scripture and is prepared to bow down to any current moral standards that are set forward by the media. ALL clergy – so called bishops included – should who refuse to uphold the authority of Scripture should be forced to resign.
This Family portrait is not redolent of the first official one of his Grace, The Church of England’s Archbishop of Canterbury, standing on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, with his Biblical wife -as in “the husband of one wife” definition and number-on his arm. Could it be that were the presence of those Biblical wives among them only give the lie to the now official lie held aloft in one’s right hand, all those +’s notwithstanding; which official lie began not in the SCOTUS, but in the Episcopal Church USA, then from there was purveyed from Christ’s Church,Victoria, B.C., and, indeed, now has gone ’round the world?
Could it be that this official lie is a betrayal of all such faithful Biblical wives, if not of all wives, past and present, ’round the world; the same wives who (as was intimated at this site) were as faithful in their marital duties and obligations as to those in The House of GOD?
Will the next Cultural Marxist/neo-Babylonian claim for the Family Portrait be for the inclusion of children, as has been brayed abroad by that most renegade of a renegade field of Democrat Candidates;
in order to Make America Gay Again? The Church already is.
Which official lie, during Easter Week, re. Stonewall approved, RSE compulsory Sex Education just received the Imprimatur of the House of Lords Baal, UK, and the RC Church, Archbishop of London of the Soho gay Masses, et Amoris Laetitia.* (v. Jules Gomes, The Rebel Priest, May 8 (!), 2019, Anglican Mainstream);
alas, UK Brexit is now EU Sexit;
or to paraphrase John of Gaunts death-bed Prophecy,
this Millstone set in a Sulphur Sea.
