Bishop Lincoln Mckoen was inhibited on June 1st 2021 for unspecified reasons, although there were dark hints of sexual shenanigans.
Now he has resigned or, one presumes, had resignation thrust upon him, much as Jeffrey Epstein was suicided. McKoen has been sending naughty pictures to someone with whom he was in (more than) a “pastoral relationship”.
From here:
On June 10th Lincoln Mckoen, former Bishop of the Territory of the People, resigned and relinquished the exercise of episcopal ministry. Archbishop Lynne McNaughton wrote to the people of the diocese on June 11th:
Lincoln Mckoen has resigned from his diocesan episcopal ministry because of allegations received on May 27,2021 that on occasions when Lincoln Mckoen presented himself as a priest (padre), bishop-elect or bishop he, by text and by images sent inappropriate sexualized electronic communications to an adult person who is resident outside the Ecclesiastical Province and with whom Lincoln Mckoen was in a pastoral relationship.
Lincoln Mckoen acknowledges that the allegations are well founded.
Pastoral care is being offered to the diocese and all affected. An interim Steering Committee has been put in place. The diocese now enters a time of grieving and discernment about its future episcopal leadership. Please join them in prayer.
A church that endorses same-sex fornication can have nothing to say to this kind of unchastity, surely? Or would it have been AOK if the relationship had been with another male?
Be sure your sin shall find you out
If the + Numbers 32:23 text means what it says concerning the Reubenites and Gadites failure to join their fellow Tribes in battle against “utterly” destroying the existing evil in The Land, then sins of omission also will be found out.
Such sexual sins committed against the Indigenous children and youth in the Federal Government-Churches run Residential Schools then must needs be named in any truly repentant official statements by the ACC Primate and PCC Moderator(s) which now have been issued by those newfound Allies in ‘legalizing’ homosexual sin within their respective Communions: wholly contrary to Holy Scripture. Also, all official records have to be submitted to those sp grievously wronged and sinned against..
Neither “death due to illness, abuse or neglect” (ACC) nor “the sin of colonialism” (PCC) confesses what Romes own guilty Magisterium had to confess to the world on March 15, 2021 concerning same sex marriage
– that it cannot bless sin.
