A wealthy gay couple has decided to launch a lawsuit to force their church to perform their wedding. The Drewitt-Barlows, a millionaire couple from the U.K, stated, “We’ve launched a challenge to the government’s decision to allow some religious groups to opt out of marrying same-sex couples.”

Both attend St. John the Baptist church, a branch of the Church of England, and have been in a civil partnership since 2006.

Barrie Drewitt-Barlow said that he and his partner Tony, “feel we have the right as parishioners in our village to utilize the church we attend to get married.

“It is no reflection on our local church, who have been nothing but supportive towards us. We understand their hands are tied by a higher group of people within the church.

The”church” already supports their sodomizing each other. They deserve it.

Hold the service, just read all of the Levitical and New Testament condemnations of homosexuality as a part of the “service”.

Then finish with:

1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

i John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

I would shutter my doors and walk away before I allowed a kangaroo court to force me into such an action.

Yep, they asserted that time after time...”it’ll never happen!”. I don’t think they understand the events they’ll be setting into motion.

Religious freedom was one of the reasons the British came over here. If it is taken away here, where can you go?

It isn't happening here. The article is from England.

Soon coming to America.

Also coming soon is some guy wanting to marry his daughter. He will be told it’s illegal because incest is illegal. He will respond “You people say gay marriage isn’t about sex. Neither is my marriage to my daughter. There will be no sex. I just want her on my insurance.”

Send all the queers wishing wedding bliss to Southern Utah where the local Mormon community will line the highways as they come down to our place for their

Special Day

They might wonder if the crowds are here to greet them and wish them well. No we are all here to extract as much cash as possible as we giggle heartily at all the weirdos, and we certainly will be able to come up with some Queer Beer for the parade. We are working on bringing in a "Goat Coach" float for the occasion.

The downside to mixing church and state is that “church” is corrupted by “state”, not the other way around. The official church in the UK is a tool of the state.

Of course, they are going to force their Paganism/Worship of Ba’al or Satanic Rite—whatever you call it... their Religious Sacrament .. onto Christians.

They flip Good and Evil to Kill God/Postmodernism and destroy Christian Ethics which led to Science and Age of Reason and Individualism (USA)-— to force Paganism/Occultism, Collectivism, Marxism, whatever, on our children....to normalize their behaviors, to make any irrational act “Normal” to destroy Reason.

Just an unconstitutional irrational, arbitrary ideology which uses human beings as things for mutual masturbation and meaningless sex and other immoral purposes. It is incompatible with the Constitution-—the Laws of Nature and nature’s God-—is about moral Absolutes. They need Objective Truth-—gone......can’t do it without destroying all meaning of the Constitution which removes Reason-—that which is necessary for Just Laws.

As I've said countless times, this is exactly what "marriage equality" has been all about: tearing down the Church. It was only a matter of time.

We will now get to see which Churches stand by the Bible and which do not.

Yeah, why not just go to an Episcopal church? It your are Gay you should go to a gay church. That’s why I don’t go there any more.

Doesn’t the actual UK ‘gay marriage’ legislation prohibit the Anglican Church from performing ‘gay marriages?’ I thought I recalled something like that. Of course that will obviously be no barrier, I suppose, considering the the Equality legislation they have.
