Primate Fred Hiltz delivered his Easter message on video. You can watch it all here (I’m sure he would be grateful: it only has 52 hits thus far). Most of it is maudlin Residential School hand-wringing delivered in a lugubrious monotone. This next clip I found interesting, though:
Holy Week is “all about reconciliation”, of course but not primarily reconciliation with one another: it is firstly and most importantly about reconciliation with God under whose wrath we justly find ourselves until delivered by the penal substitutionary atonement of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
In the Anglican All You Need is Love Church of Canada, God’s wrath, our sin, our deserving of punishment, our inability to “do good works pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of God by Christ preventing us” have all been buried in the bog of sentimental liberal theological mush that has been oozing into the denomination for decades.
FYI, I cannot make any comment on the Easter message since I have not read anything written by the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada for the past 7 years. Since 2007, I have been busy reading Anglican Mainstream, Christianity Today, Global South Anglican, and TitusOneNine.
For Fred Hiltz and his apostate colleagues anything goes as long as it does not focus on the true Gospel. I cannot refer to him as a bishop anymore than I can refer to Michael Ingham and Michael Bird as bishops as they all worship political expediency and are quick to avoid any reference to the true Gospel. They are nothing more than men dressed in purple shirts and white collars designed to deceive true Christians.
