The Diocese of Toronto’s Bishop Kevin Robertson married his same-sex partner in 2018.
On February 7th 2019, Justin Welby welcomed him and 29 other bishops to Lambeth Palace. He is in the second to last row fifth from the left wearing a similar grin to the one he sported in his wedding photo:
Not much confirmation is needed on where Justin Welby stands on same-sex marriage but, for those who remain unconvinced that he fully supports it, inviting a male bishop who is married to another man for a cosy chat at Lambeth Palace should do the trick.
From here:
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will this afternoon (Thursday) welcome nearly 30 new Anglican bishops from around the world to his official London residence Lambeth Palace. This morning, the bishops are at the Anglican Communion Office (ACO) in west London. They are taking part in an annual 10-day course run by Canterbury Cathedral – the Mother Church of the Anglican Communion – to teach them about the role of a bishop and the Anglican Communion. This year’s cohort comes from Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Kenya, Madagascar, Melanesia, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Scotland, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, the US, and Zimbabwe.
GAFCON’s Archbishop Nicholas Okoh has already warned faithful bishops not to attend Lambeth 2020 because, among other things, Kevin Robertson and his spouse will probably be there. No need to speculate: it has already happened:
We have also learned with deep concern that the Assistant Bishop of Toronto, Kevin Robertson, entered into a same sex union using the marriage service in St James’ Cathedral, Toronto. This step by the Anglican Church of Canada underlines the urgency of our advice in the Jerusalem 2018 ‘Letter to the Churches’ warning against attending the 2020 Lambeth Conference as currently constituted. For the first time assistant bishops and their spouses will be invited, so we can expect that Bishop Robertson and his partner will be attending and received in good standing.
If the Canadian House of Bishops was a functioning entity Bishop Susan Bell would have been asked to step down. The Bishop of Niagara has no jurisdiction in another Diocese. What a completely fraudulent exercise . Gives new meaning to ‘self gratification.’. Bollocks .
The Lord has whispered to me —
Terry -hold your tongue!
“If the Canadian House of Bishops was a functioning entity” has tragically been the desideratum for several decades now. Collectively they threw us to the wolves when this evil was first introduced by the original renegade ‘bishop’. They could have nipped it in the bud, but were too lazy/ignorant/complaisant to try.
Lambeth, shambeth, the faithful should not be yoked to Canterbury.
I see in the photo a woman wearing a purple shirt. So not only is there an unrepentant sinner, there is also woman that presumably cannot understand that God does not have women in His Priesthood. And that the ABC would invite both only serves to show just how disastrous the entire situation has become.
The Marriage Supper of The Lamb, not Lambeth, is the Royal Wedding RSVP not to be missed.
It also offers The Last WORD on The LORD’s definition of marriage:
What wore the Bride, His Wife? “fine linen, clean and white…the righteousness of the saints”;
What wore The Groom? “He was clothed with a vesture dipped in Blood:
and His Name is called The WORD of GOD”.
+ The Revelation of Jesus Christ ch. 19. Amen.
What further proof is needed to show the Anglican Communion under the ABC is completely controlled by the “god of political expediency”. This is just another result of the appointment of the ABC being subject to the civil government which really has no interest whatever in upholding the Gospel and there is no doubt that the current ABC also has no interest in upholding the truth/
