On November the 20^th.

Is this to remember the thousands of children irreversibly mutilated in body mind and spirit to appease the insane god of gender confusion worshipped by half-witted Anglican bishops?

Of course not. It’s to “invite repentance for the words and actions of transphobia perpetuated in our society and in our churches.”

You can read all about it here; that is if you manage to get past the gibberish in the first paragraph without falling victim to debilitating brain fog:

At the heart of the gospel is the truth that we created [sic] in the image of God. In every human being, the divine is present. As we grow from children to adults, we are shaped by many factors – family, culture, geography and faith – including our discovery of how we will live into the call of the image of God we are gifted with. In every generation, cultural expectations and gender definitions interact with the image of God, sometimes affirming and sometimes undermining the unconditional love of each human being in all our diversity.

Up until 2021 they had been for trial use but now Synod has decided that they will be added to the Book of Alternative Services as official liturgies. You can find the complete versions here.

An included free bonus is a liturgy for those with “a newfound awareness of a
particular identity location on the gender spectrum”, but who have no taste for mutilating themselves.

I can’t help noticing that there is no liturgy for people who identify and are transitioning to Furries. Not very inclusive.

Thus blazes an Anglican Journal headline for an article about the Anglican Church of Canada’s new trial liturgies for gender transition.

Apparently, the mistake we’ve been making for the last 6,000 years or so is to fall into the trap of thinking that men and women actually exist. They don’t. There is only humanity. Now we’ve finally realised that we have taken “an amazing step forward into full inclusion.” Or, depending on your perspective, confirmed Sophocles’ warning: “those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad”.

Read all about it here:

“Although [Christianity] has followed cultural norms about gender wherever it’s been lived and expressed, there is in its theology and its foundation documents in the New Testament a considerable focus on our humanity and not on our gender,” Beardsley said. This focus on humanity rather than gender find reflection in one of the liturgies CoGS commended for trial use, “A Blessing Over the Process of Gender Transition”. This blessing states that according to Scripture, the “first human’s gender is more poetic than clear cut—this first human embodiment included maleness, femaleness, and more than these—all of this was affirmed as very good.” The Rev. Theo Robinson, a transgender priest at Interlake Regional Shared Ministry and consultative body member, called approval of the liturgies for trial use “an amazing step forward into full inclusion.”

One day a Canadian Anglican archbishop will do something that surprises me: today is not that day.

Also unsurprising is the fact that the archbishops seem to enjoy antinomy so much that they have not expunged the “T” from “LGBTQ+”. Probably because it is now a hallowed acronym of canonical veracity that has risen to the status of core doctrine and cannot be tampered with without shaking the fundamental heresies that underpin the entire Anglican Church of Canada. Nevertheless, we should remember that the Ts demand conversion therapy, even though it is biologically impossible and has been responsible for ruining the lives of thousands of children and, no doubt, thousands more before our civilization finishes its unravelling.

The archbishops are as spineless as jellyfish when standing up for the fundamentals of the faith they are paid to defend but, to make up for it, their resolve in sacrificing children on the altar of their unhinged ideology is as firm as can be.

From here:

An international interfaith commission has called for an end to violence against and criminalization of LGBTQ+ people and a global ban on conversion therapy.

The declaration by the Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT+ Lives, which launched Dec. 16, 2020, was signed by around 400 religious leaders from more than 35 countries.

Among the launch signatories of the declaration were Archbishop Linda Nicholls, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada; Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario Archbishop Anne Germond; and Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon Archbishop Melissa Skelton.

[….]

“Our baptismal covenant calls us to respect the dignity of every human being,” Nicholls said when reached for comment by the Journal.

Among the statements contained in the declaration are: an affirmation “that all human beings of different sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions are a precious part of creation and are part of the natural order”; an acknowledgment that religious teachings have perpetuated violence against LGBTQ+ people; a call for all nations to “put an end to criminalization on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity”; and a call “for all attempts to change, suppress or erase a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression—commonly known as ‘conversion therapy’—to end, and for these harmful practices to be banned.”

The Anglican Church of Canada is looking for a “female identified or non-binary” individual to take part in a UN Commission on the status of women. That means men who, in defiance of their genetic underpinnings, claim to be women can apply. They may even be given preferential treatment.

Just when you think the Anglican Church of Canada cannot become more daft – it does just that.

From here:

Delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women – Expression of Interest
The Anglican Church of Canada has been asked to nominate one young woman (female identified or non-binary), age 18-30 years old to take part in the Anglican Communion delegation to the sixty-fourth session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York City, March 9th-20th, 2020.

The main focus of UNCSW64 will be on the review of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action to assess current challenges that affect the implementation of the Platform for Action and the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of women.
