At St. Christopher’s in the Diocese of Niagara, 1 Timothy 6:12 has taken a strange turn.
They are “fighting the homophobia web virus on the internet”:
I can almost see the homophobia web virus shrivelling, like a vampire in the sunlight, before the onslaught of rainbow flag, candles and small but doughty semicircle of crusading Anglicans.
I don’t know about you, but I had no idea there was such a thing as a homophobia web virus; the next time the Windows Technical Department calls I plan on asking them about it.
I’d leave a comment but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to edit it.
At least they kept it away from the sanctuary.
Barely enough people in the picture to fill a pew anyway.
I count 15 people in the photo (and that includes the celebrant). Although I have to admit that there may be another 3 or 4 people who cannot be seen. Still that is less than two dozen people, and none of them children! Presumably this picture was taken at the main service, possibly the only service, at this Parish. If that is the case than I do not see how this Parish can survive.
I suspect this little gathering was on a Friday, when most people have other things to do.
Friday? Now that you point it out I notice the day and time on the sign. You are almost certainly correct. And given that the small number of people now comes as little surprise.
You know, David, it occurs to me that much of what elicits a reaction out of you is about language. I can relate: I also have the kind of mind that finds form infinitely more interesting than content.
“I had no idea there was such a thing as a homophobia web virus” And fish don’t know they’re in water -_-
