Anglican Queerest and Dearest Family Camp

No, I didn’t make that up, it’s a Diocese of New Westminster family camp for sexual minorities where the chapel services will have a strong focus on queer and trans theologies and our lives as queer and trans Christians. 

Enrol now before it fills up.

More here:

Queerest and Dearest is being sponsored by the Diocesan Youth Movement in the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster and specifically being organized by a diverse group of volunteers, which includes queer parents, straight parents of queer kids, queer adults without children, trans and cisgender parents, trans youth, cisgender queer youth, people of colour and white people, settlers and indigenous folks. We are mostly Anglicans, with one Lutheran amongst us. A number of us are involved in children, youth and family ministry, and a number of us have experience leading queer- and trans-focused camps as well as camps without this focus.

  1. “LGBTQIA2S+”

    I see that this acronym continues to expand: an attempt to build a demographic more significant than, say, the number of Albanian-Canadians.

    Of interest, I have heard from both L and G acquaintances who have told me they are really getting fed up with all the odds and sods being bolted on to their label.

    Particularly those who are clearly mentally ill.

    • “LGBTQIA2S+”

      I see that this acronym continues to expand

      That’s quite parsimonious in its application of alphabet soup.
      Ontario teachers are far more extravagant: they have
      LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP sensitivity training. See here

  2. And nowhere in any of these alphabet soups do we ever see the letter H for Heterosexual or N for Normal. I feel excluded by those who demand unlimited inclusivity for their choices.

  3. The ACoC takes nothing seriously other than to evict genuine Christians and/or legally steal properties solely for their own purpose. The Diocese of New Westminster under the apostate Michael Ingham legally stole properties from genuine Christians and his replacement is from the same cloth – totally and completely apostate. Genuine Christians and any remaining orthodox clergy should run as fast as they can from this leadership. The only authority they are prepared to recognize is with the “god of political expediency” and that is definitely not the GOD and father of our Lord and Saviour.

  4. I don’treally care about different labels. There are only two groups of people, either you are spiritually alive in the Lord Jesus, or you are spiritually dead. Either you are alive or dead. That’s good enough classification for me.

  5. Boot camp for further installments of shock and assault troops against the faithful Remnant in every denomination; notably, now that the Supreme Court of Canada has Ruled today, June 15, 2018, – day that will go down in anti-Christian infamy – that Christian Graduates from Trinity Western will not be allowed to practice Law either in Ontario or in Nova Scotia.

    • This decision clearly proves that what might be called “legally correct” is nothing less than morally abominable. Governments have been appointing judges to the courts who have no moral standards whatever and have come to think they are “god”. Decisions such as this should be addressed by our governments. Not doing so simply proves our government leaders also have no moral standards and will accept anything that might work toward their being re-elected.

      • The great divide on this issue is “what saith The Scripture?”: evidenced in the exchange aired on CBC’s ‘Carole MacNeil’;
        the LGBT Attorney proponent maintaining that one can be a Christian and actively LGBT; the Evangelical Pastor opponent maintaining that, according to The Bible, one cannot; which is both the teaching and practice of Trinity Western.
        What would be the outcome of a Biblical Christian going to Toronto’s Metropolitan Church and asking to become a Biblicaly faithful member thereof?
        As these Party-appointed Judicial Activists are ruling, ‘Charter values’ would trump the Biblical Christian, again denying one’s full religious liberty.
        The 1969 Omnibus Bill on abortion, divorce and homosexuality
        marked the abandonment of Judaeo-Christian values in Canada;
        now the Charter, more observed on the breach of Christian religious liberty than its observance, has become the tyranny of the minority. Biblical faithful Churches are the most current and
        troubling case in point of all – as this blog provides ample and distressing evidence.
