John Stephens, Bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster, has waded fearlessly into the Lambeth Human Dignity non-issue with the following:
I’ve also recently read a piece written by the bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church, where they’ve stated: “The members of the College of Bishops will seek to amend the draft call on Human Dignity urging a more inclusive approach and will work in respectful dialogue both with those colleagues across the Communion who would share the position adopted by the Scottish Episcopal Church, and with those who may differ.” The full inclusion of LGBTQ2SIA+ in every facet of the life of the Diocese of New Westminster is a core priority which has been evolving for decades. This priority is the result of decisions made by diocesan Synods over four decades and as the current bishop I honour and fully support those decisions and celebrate the diversity of our diocese.
Stephens, you will no doubt notice, is even more inclusive the many of the other bishops: he has more letters in his letter litany than your average, less inclusive, slightly benighted bishop who stalls at the “T” in LGBT. He’s probably compensating for not listing his pronouns on his office plaque.
With this now very public Confession of ‘Bishop Burnet”s (1662) Apology as the ACC Diocesan font and origin of spiritual rebellion, and summoning ‘Evangelists’ from the Scottish Northern parts, one on Sunday, July 24, 2022, gracing the Pulpit in Pictou, Nova Scotia, to add to this anti-Scriptural affront to The LORD GOD of Heaven and His Church, as was observed then, so now,
a pack of “Jeroboam’s Priests, miserable in the world. and unable to subsist, made them long for a stipend. So they went to their Churches with the same intention as a shepherd contract$ for herding a flock of cattle”;
against all such usurpers of Christ’s Pulpit true Preachers of His Gospel were forced to comply to said iniquity; or quit their Sacred Call.
That, and nothing else, is what is at the stake of the persecuted Church being persecuted from within.
Lambeth, “choose ye this day whom you will serve…(for) ye are witnesses against yourselves.”
+ Joshua 24:15…Amen.
I would be interested in understanding what you just said.
What a load of Twaddle.
It was under the deception of former New Westminster bishop, Michael Ingham, that the Anglican Church of Canada used the civil courts to legally steal properties paid for by true genuine and orthodox Christians. Tragically the ACoC continues in this path and worships the “god of political expediency” rather than upholding the truth of the Gospel. Unless the ACoC returns to the true Gospel it will continue to decline and will fall into the pit of apostasy.
I admit I had to look up “LGBTQ2SIA+” on the internet. “2-Spirit” individuals are included, but not 3 or more Spirit individuals. If I had two or more spirits, I would be looking for an exorcist.
NOW YER TALKING!!!!
