Rev. Sean Major-Campbell was not just washing a woman\u2019s feet, of course, he was making a point: the washing was part of a service in celebration of human rights. <\/em>Redemption from sin through Jesus\u2019 atoning sacrifice on the cross had no place in the service; nor, it goes without saying, did repentance.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t seem to have occurred to the foot washing Rev. that without the forgiveness gained through Jesus\u2019 costly sacrifice, we have no rights<\/em> before God at all; even with forgiveness, everything we have is a gift rather than a right<\/em>. Had Jesus\u2019 ministry been one of celebrating our rights<\/em> rather than freeing us from our sin, Christianity would not have endured its early persecution, let alone manage to form a church that would survive long enough to sink into the decadent self-destructiveness of paying the ilk of Major-Campbell to distort its central message.<\/p>\n

Reverend Father Sean Major-Campbell conducted the ritual at the Christ Church in Vineyard Town, where he is also the Rector.<\/p>\n

The service, dubbed ‘In celebration of human rights’, was attended by several of Jamaica’s leading human rights groups and advocates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
