Yesterday was Earth Day and Canadian Anglicans were encouraged to celebrate<\/a> it with the usual m\u00e9lange of sacred circles, unnamed traditions and spiritism all spiced with a dash of Gaia:<\/p>\n

Creator God, we acknowledge and give thanks that:
\nIn Jesus we know we belong to a Sacred Circle with the Gospel and Baptismal Covenant\u00a0in the centre.<\/p>\n

In this Sacred Circle:
\nWe are all related;
\nWe live a compassionate and generous life;
\nWe respect all life, traditions, and resources.
\nWe commit ourselves to spiritual growth, discipleship, and consensus.
\nAmen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As it happens, I agree with Roger Scruton<\/a>, that not despoiling our environment is a conservative value; sadly, the Anglican Church of Canada has gone a few steps further and made environmentalism a substitute for the worship of God the Father. \u00a0Note the reference to \u201cCreator\u201d rather than \u201cFather\u201d in the above prayer.<\/p>\n

The ACoC\u2019s fascination for greening<\/em> everything had its origins in the actions of Ira Einhorn<\/a>, one of the founders of Earth Day. Einhorn made a name for himself by murdering his girlfriend and composting her. We cannot accuse him of not living up to his convictions, unlike the Anglican Church of Canada.<\/p>\n

I await the day when exanimate Anglican clergy are put to rest by composting.<\/p>\n
