The Anglican Church of Canada has largely abandoned thousands of years of Biblical wisdom, tradition and theology in favour of the latest secular fads.<\/p>\n

So far, we have galloped through gay equality, global warming, fossil fuel divestment, Indigenous rights, transgender mayhem, obsessive\/compulsive pronoun selection disorder, ancestor condemnation, Israel excoriation, to arrive finally, panting with exhaustion, at Dismantling Systemic Racism. This week, at least. Next week a new fad will undoubtedly assault the malleable affections of our senior Anglican clerics.<\/p>\n

One of the problems with all this is the puzzling question of why the keepers of our moral boundaries do not notice all these abject ethical failures before the secular world points them out? Could it be because, having abandoned the faith once handed down, the Anglican Church of Canada finds itself wandering aimlessly in a wasteland of witless ideas, staggering helplessly from one stupidity to the next? Yes.<\/p>\n

Thus, we have the Council of General Synod busily engaged<\/a> in Dismantling Racism:<\/p>\n

\"\"In its latest meeting, the general secretary said, CoGS had been challenged to learn how to see something that is very obvious for people not in the dominant culture, but which may be less so for those in the dominant culture: the reality of racism. \u201cWe had some very moving revelations of those realities,\u201d Perry said of Saturday\u2019s panel discussion on dismantling racism. \u201cI hope that we will all learn how to see those very difficult realities so that we can address them effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n

CoGS has also been invited to see what God has been doing in the pandemic, he added, \u201cin ways that perhaps we\u2019ve not been open to seeing because we\u2019ve been tied up just trying to get through it.\u201d Perry described Surprised by the Spirit as an invitation to the Anglican Church of Canada \u201cto see what God is doing and will be doing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think I have seen what God is doing: He is dismantling the Anglican Church of Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
