I’m unsure as to why Pentecost has to be “queered” or even exactly what it means, but it is something that, so we are told, is occurring in the Diocese of Huron.
Read all about it here:
As we move through the Easter season and look towards Pentecost, I want to offer a reflection, a “queering” of the story of Pentecost and what it means for our ideas of community and communion.
Pentecost tells us that we are called to be Christian in community. The earliest converts at Pentecost were initiated into community and participated in community. Community is essential for Christians. It is one of the primary ways in which we are formed, how we discern, and how we enter into relationship with God.
Community can be difficult for LGBTQ Christians. Christian communities can fall on a spectrum between affirming to welcoming, tolerant, condemning, or actively hostile.
Lots of jargon here!
And curious assumptions, for instance that baptism is a form of magic.
Certain types of behaviour if persisted in break communion for time and eternity.

Concurrent message (‘Lifesitenews’ M. May 9, 2022 ) with S.J. Pope ‘Francis’ who with S.J. LGBTQI…Activist Fr. James Martin pontificate that The Church is to be welcoming of all, citing The Book of Acts, generally.
What saith The Book of Acts specifically, ch. 18, concerning the heathen Greco-Roman city of Corinth, The LORD GOD speaking,v. 10 “For I have much people in this city”. Who were they? Paul addressed them in + I Corinthians ch. 6: not exclusive of any, inclusive of all, “effeminate…abusers of themselves with mankind” among them; ALL to repent of their Scriptural-defined sins:
“and such were some of you: but ye are washed…justified… sanctified in The Name of The LORD Jesus, and by The Spirit of our GOD…” Amen.
This was the very verse of Holy Scripture quoted by the late + Reverend Dr. William Klempa at the 1996 General Assembly, June 6 – 12 1996, in Charlottetown, PEI, re.
the issue then besetting The PCC; reiterated in his Open Letter of May 11, 2016,
in the now ACC Editor-cancelled ‘Presbyterian Record’.
Now both PCC (first gay ‘married’ Moderator of the extra-mural ‘Rainbow Communion’) and Church of Scotland (further to Rennie Case, 2009, to ‘Bless’
ss ‘marriage’) on their joint anti-Scriptural grounds on it;
deserving of The Reverend David Calderwood’s then verbal encomium, now an epitaph, of December 17,1596,
“Here end the sincere General Assemblies of The Kirk of Scotland”.
pcc.ca 2022 site citing + Ecclesiastes 3 “… to everything a season…” offers ‘pastoral care’ by a service of ‘worship’ for Congregations (once they have jumped 4 sets of hoops at 50% approval of Congregation) to amalgamate or dissolve.
Of 89 Overtures in 2021, 95 % seeking such “gracious dismissal”: all, for both sides, a house built on the following sand:
1) the July, 2014 online anon.pro-LGBTQ letter was extra-PPC Courts, whose author was party to a confirmed case of discrimination by a Canadian HRC;
2) its spawn activist ‘Rainbow Communion’, therefore, as unlawful as the anomos Minister who then had said letter transmogrified into an 2015 Overture, thereby fulfilling all unrighteousness.
ACC already on this anti-Scriptural lawless track with its Niagara Diocese “back pocket…local option”- not “good disagreement” in or for either Communion.
M. May 23/22 Edinburgh
Church of Scotland, Mother Kirk of PCC, votes to permit Ministers and Deacons (!) ‘Bless same sex marriage’: 274 + 136-; having abandoned any third mark of the true Kirk with spiritual discipline re.fama of Minister Rennie in 2009, the dissolution of doctrine (Scriptural Westminster Standards) has sown division’s triplets- heterodoxy, heresy, apostasy; which moves not Scottish RCC in their gleeful ‘St. Margaret’s Declaration of Friendship’ with the fallen Scottish Episcopal Church, et al.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is…”

HM Lord High Commissioner commends re. pandemic response and Ukraine response; period.
Free Church GA in session for the faithful Remnant.
“Historic”, the justification offered by PCC’s first ‘Rainbow’ Moderator gathered by made-in-China Zoom on Pentecost; as historic as the 1638 General Assembly had to be, and not for the grossly unrighteous reasons as this one, inclusive of his marital “partner” in their fab-four photo taken at The Fake Assembly.
Retiring Moderator blaspheming Holy Scripture from + Genesis 3:20-4:2 + Acts 2:42-47 “…wife…” “…all things in common…”, regretting the interruption by the pandemic
to regular meetings of The General Assembly: V. + Revelation 18:4. Still regret?
No regrets; according to + II Kings 19 + Revelation 22 all anti-Scriptural rebels so gathered are still without its Sacred Walls, for you will not come into this City/Church for “I will defend this City, to save it, for My own sake…”, thus speaks
The LORD GOD Jesus Christ, King and Head of His Church, Who will keep you there until you + “Repent” v. 38,as took place on The Day of Pentecost, “they that gladly received His WORD”. v. 41.
