Rev. Theo Robinson, a transgender priest in the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, is one of the people responsible for producing the newly adopted liturgies for gender transition and affirmation.
Robinson is delighted that it reaffirms we are an inclusive church.
The bishop of Rupert’s Land, Geoff Woodcroft, is also excited by the prospect of using the liturgy for what, undoubtedly, will be a flood of candidates eager to fill his church’s deserted pews to partake of the new offering.
Woodcroft is so enamoured of his progressive openminded omnierudite pieties (poop™ for short), he is bent on exporting them to those whom he regards as less enlightened than himself, specifically Ugandans.
From here:
At the same time Woodcroft commended the new liturgy for use by churches in the Diocese, he sent a letter to Stephen Kaziimba, Primate of Uganda, condemning his recent decision to champion that government’s new law criminalizing homosexuality.
“We are outraged that a member church of the Anglican communion could recklessly betray Christ’s teaching to love, and blatantly violate The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” Woodcroft wrote in the letter, which was also sent to Justin Welby, archbishop of Canterbury and head of the worldwide Anglican Church.
“We are deeply saddened and disturbed to know that Ugandan LGBTTQ+ people, their families and allies must live in prisons of isolation formed by fear,” he said, adding “the disciples of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land hear God’s call to care for God’s children in every time and place.”
He may well have been ordained as a priest but clearly he has denounced any genuine Christian doctrine and now as many within the ACoC worship the “god of political expediency”
To be in a same-sex ‘marriage’, to have gone through ‘gender transition’, to be ‘transgender’, all are terms for imaginary states. It would be good if we all stopped referring to them as though they were anything real in the real world that God made. Hence my quotation remarks, which are of the soi-disant variety in each case.

That’s why I became a Roman Catholic because I was much too stressed over all of this. Priscilla this person is just 1% of population & only 20% go ahead with surgery anyways & surgery and/or anything medical can be quite a lot is nice to say no. I couldn’t in Jan & June 2022 had 2 very bad seizures & after Jan & June had 2 symptoms of Cardiac Arrest as well but it was stress. There needs to be 1 position in The Global Communion that can say, “Yes”, to this & “No”, to that & why but there’s really not but rather persons with what they think’s right.

I went to mom’s Portuguese Catholic side but have always had an attraction this way anyways.
It also needs to be pointed out that the idea of a man’s marrying a man, or a woman a woman, cannot even be expressed in numbers of languages, e.g. ancient Greek, where the man marries his wife, she is married by her husband; or modern Russian, where he marries onto her, she goes out after him, as my dear Husband, who knew both languages, told me.
soooo……in his zeal to legitimize immoral sexual acts is he not treading into racist/colonialist territory? Africa/Uganda folks are obviously backward savages that need white colonialists to give them a lesson in morality ? you are stepping in your own bucket of poo Theo…..
Indeed. Those “progressives” who declaim against “colonialism” never quite seem to come to grips with the essential contradiction that attempting to impose their own ideology on Africans might well also be considered “colonialism”.
Mamma Mia!
