Under the tutelage of Rev. Kevin George, the youth group at St. Aidan’s in London has painted some rainbow doors “to display as a sign of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community”.
Someone who is less than enthusiastic about drag queen story hour has vandalised them with the following:
Admittedly, this is a trifle rude, but then Rev. George is not averse to posting scatological incivilities in his twitter feed when it suits him:
That didn’t deter the good Rev from piously tweeting this about his vandalised doors: “To the person or persons who did this last night at St Aidan’s Church, we will not be deterred. Hate will not prevail.” I suspect what he really means by that last sentence is “Hate will not prevail, unless it’s what I hate”.
From here:
Members of St. Aidan’s Anglican Church arrived this morning to find some of their property vandalised.
Overnight, a door they had painted for pride month was spray painted with profanity. The vandalism was referring to “drag queen story time,” an event that has recently sparked controversy.
The Church’s Rector Kevin George told CTV News that young members of the Church created a pride art installation a year ago with multiple doors saying, “God’s doors are open to all.”
The Pride Flag door was left on display on a fence outside the Church Saturday and was vandalized with profanity spray painted over it.
“It was disheartening to see that message,” Rector Kevin George said in response to the “vulgar message” they found on the door.
In a post on social media, George, said, “To the person or persons who did this last night at St Aidan’s Church, we will not be deterred. Hate will not prevail.”
George said members of the Church spent part of the afternoon repainting their doors in Pride colours, which will be on display for next month.
Just another clergy person that should be dismissed as he rejects the WORD and worships the god of political expediency. It is no wonder that the ACoC is rapidly descending into the pit
I feel rather grateful to the Anglican Church of Canada and the shrinking Canterbury communion for providing us with so much absurd theatre. Who would have thought they had such a gift for comedy?
Canon Kevin George says things like: “Pop in and see me one day! Let’s chat face to face.”
Or: “I have a pretty open-door policy.”
As if he’ll genuinely welcome a free and frank exchange of ideas. This is clearly not the case, though. On his Twitter account, George posted a tweet where he aggressively mocks someone who emailed him with a different theological opinion: “He’s wants me to know that even though he hates homosexuals he’s not a fan of vandalism. Thanks Jim. Appreciate the support.” (From May 28, 2023.)
Let’s bracket the questions of right vs left for one moment and say that he is right in the positions he holds, George is still problematic in that he suffers from an innate inability to sincerely see the possibility that someone might have different ideas than him and still be a good person.
If someone favours a traditional understanding of marriage, then that person is (obviously!) “a homophobe,” even if the person is themselves homosexual!
This has come up before on all sorts of issues. As an example, he has taken exception with other Anglican male priests who like to be called “Father.” He associates that with conservative Anglo-Catholicism. Which, in turn, he associates with opposition to the ordination of women. Which, for him, is sexist. Therefore, Anglican priests who like to be called “Father” are bad men. Plain and simple.
Most of us, as we mature, learn that other people sometimes hold different opinions and can still be a good person. We learn to discuss differences in a civil manner. For Canon George, though, to have a different opinion is to be a bad person.
Someone with this mentality should not be leading a parish. Even if he’s right in his opinions and causes, the name-calling is inappropriate.
Try emailing him about something non-controversial and see if you get a reply. There is a good chance you won’t. But if he finds out you have a different opinion than him? Brace yourself.
The rising National tide among citizens, especially parents, against the Rainbow Regime unlawfully Occupying Government benches in The House of Commons still awaits the same clear voice of Protest from the Mainline Churches. Was not St. Aidan the successor Abbot at Iona following the death of St. Columba whose own + Conversion to Jesus Christ took place in St. Patrick’s Ireland: cleansed of all pagan abominations inclusive of the sin of homosexuality. But then if in The Name of Jesus Christ these Churches bless sin, who is St. Aidan?
One more thing: in the midst of the National justified furor re. the Bernardo Case and the informed ‘Minister’ of Public Safety’s brazen refusal to resign, or the informed PM to dismiss him under the principle of Ministerial responsibility to Parliament, this is the same Cultural Marxist Regime whose benighted policies has proven to be an historic first and unapologetic, principal purveyor of multiple perversions in Canada; and whose ‘theological’ analogue can be found in the anti-Scriptural fallen and falling Churches who therefore have failed to protest them.
