Church in Wales inquiry after rector burns Bible pages

The Church in Wales says it is investigating after a Gwynedd rector burnt some pages from the Bible.

The Reverend Geraint ap Iorwerth of St Peter ad Vincula Church, Pennal, also cut up pages from the King James Bible to create an artwork.

Unveiling it at a church event, he said it revealed a “cruel and vile God”.

[….]

He revealed his controversial piece of art at an event to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible.

He said: “I find it highly offensive that people would think I have given my life to serving that type of God and that I would regard the words of the King James Bible as sacred truth.

“I cut out all the nasty bits of that Bible, the language of which is being celebrated all over the place this year, because I don’t think you can separate that language from the God it is representing.

“I was gobsmacked no programmes or articles are representing the cruelty, revenge and hatred of this version of God.”

[….]

“The King James Bible should be praised for its language but not for the God it represents – the two need to be separated.”

[….]

He said he also planned to create a “wall of shame” at the church naming all of God’s “cruel actions”.

If he thinks the unmolested version of the Bible reveals a god of cruelty, revenge and hatred, one wonders why the Reverent became a Reverent in the first place.

To his credit, I suppose, is that he is open about the fact that he is sitting in judgement over the Bible and is purging it of the parts that don’t fit his particular brand of idolatry.

Many other Anglican priests and bishops secretly believe as he does but don’t have the guts to come out and admit it.
