San Francisco [Episcopal] Cathedral Adds Muslim Prayers to Christmas Celebration
Virtue Online ^ | 1/1/21 | David Virtue

All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena, holds Eucharist with Muslim reader denying the divinity of Christ. Orthodox theologian says it is a theological, literary and spiritual mistake to have done this

A Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve at Grace Cathedral, the iconic Episcopal cathedral in San Francisco held a Christmas service, which featured traditional Christian carols. It also featured a Muslim reading.

It can be viewed here at 51:10-ish mark of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQNcxgrSBjQ

The cathedral is the seat of The Rt. Rev. Dr. Marc Handley Andrus, Episcopal Bishop of California.

There was also a Muslim reading rejecting the divinity of Christ during the 10PM service of Holy Eucharist on Christmas eve at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, California. This is the parish home of the notorious lesbian priest, Susan Russell.

A woman Islamist intoned, "What are best Islamic traits, feed the people and illuminate our hearts with light and let there be light above and below us; Oh God make us your light. We should be passionate about social justice."

At All Saints, the Muslim reading rejected the divinity of Christ during the service of Holy Eucharist on Christmas Eve. https://allsaints-pas.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/201224-10pmStreamingLit.pdf

Theologian Gavin Ashenden, a former Anglican bishop and scholar of Islam, said there are two Church views theologically on these actions; one is that Islam comprises one of three Abrahamic faiths which include Christianity and Judaism and we are cousins. And we are all people of the Book, so we emphasize what we have in common. That is a point of view that is relied upon by those who want to read from the Koran or elsewhere.

The Episcopal Church left me a long time ago.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires" 2 Timothy 4:3

Will the local mosque honor a transubstatiation?

If they were really good people, why don’t they give their church to Muslims to be a mosque?

The Episcopol church jumped the shark several years ago. It’s leadership is largely a sickening nest of anti- Christian vipers now ( even though there are still some good honest parishioners in the pews)

Defamation of the Host. Paul would have handed them over to Satan so that would learn not to blaspheme; we should do no less.

The Episcopal Church is apostate and has been for some time

The Episcopal Church was taken over by sexual deviants and eco fascists a long time ago.

The headline says the church is in San Francisco but the body of the article says it in Pasadena. Pasadena is as far from San Francisco as Washington, DC is from Columbus, Ohio.

“Have ye not read...?”

Second Epistle of John, 1:9-11 convicts them:

“9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not to house, neither bid him Godspeed.

11 For he that biddeth him Godspeed, is partaker of his evil deeds. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

10 [j]If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not to house, neither bid him Godspeed.

11 For he that biddeth him Godspeed, is partaker of his evil deeds. Although I had many things to write unto you, yet would I not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full.”

Muslims deny the Doctrine of Christ, therefore, those who wish God to speed them on their way, rather then telling them to either repent, or hit the road; let alone enable them & share pulpits with them, are condemned of their own mouths & works.

They have already given it to satan. They are still breathing, so; they can still Repent. Withput the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. The only blood that qualifies is that of Jesus. ONLY the lamb of God takes away the sin.
(Changing the BIBLE from a local perspective doesn’t change what God has said and ordained.

The left wing is a suicide cult, no matter what the particular organization.
