Church of England Votes in Favour of ‘Marking’ Gender Transitions with Religious Ceremony
Breitbart ^ | July 9, 2017 | Victoria Friedman

Posted on 07/09/2017 6:31:30 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

The General Synod of the Church of England has voted to ‘welcome transgender people’ by considering preparing a church service as a way to “mark a person’s gender transition”.

The official church of the United Kingdom voted four to one in favour amongst the Clergy and more than two to one amongst the Laity (members who are not Clergy) at the four-day Synod, the motion reading:

“That this Synod, recognising the need for transgender people to be welcomed and affirmed in their parish church, call on the House of Bishops to consider whether some nationally commended liturgical materials might be prepared to mark a person’s gender transition.”

“Oh My God”

Actually it’s Oh My Godless! Next up, Pope Francis will do the same thing. The world IS mad!

The only reason this "Church" of England exists was to give Henry VIII a divorce. Now this. A humanistic church by any measure.
Francis A. Schaeffer has argued, “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

Gag.

I’d make a comment about Henry VIII and the Catholics, except for the fact that the Romans are barreling headlong right into the same garbage.

Yep. And this “church” will only become worse (and sillier) once Charles becomes its head.

It’s long past time to dissolve this artificial institution. Let its members become Catholics, Methodists, whatever.

Church of England: Screw you, God. We decide what sex people are.

IIRC, such acts are already ‘marked’ . . with the Sign of the Beast.

Why not just build two golden calves and declare that “These are the gods that brought you forth out of the house of bondage!”

Many of the Israelite people had enough sense to leave their lands and go down into Judea rather than worship the golden calves. Unfortunately the English have no place to go.

England needs more John Bunyan preachers and Scotland needs a John Knox.

Yet the Anglican Church had sent missionaries across the globe to spread the Gospel. But now? Former British colonies like Nigeria are sending missionaries to the West. Yet they would probably be arrested for “hate speech”.
