The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
Anglican Archbishop of Sydney Glenn Davies has told Anglican supporters of same-sex marriage they should leave the church rather than “betray God’s word” in a scathing speech condemning progressive elements within the faith….
… “My own view is that if people wish to change the doctrine of our church, they should start a new church or join a church more aligned to their views – but do not ruin the Anglican Church by abandoning the plain teaching of Scripture. Please leave us.
“We have far too much work to do in evangelising Australia to be distracted by the constant pressure to change our doctrine in order to satisfy the lusts and pleasures of the world.”
I certainly agree that should people wish to change the world in which we live in, do not start on all the groupings, clubs, etc that have served us so well in the past – so yes that includes churches.
Not true. Anything that remains static is dead.
Adapt or die is a fact of life for men & their institutions.
Perhaps churches are dying because they are being too adaptive. I was not happy finding out that the Lord’s Prayer had been modernised, I knew it by heart.
“My own view is that if people wish to change the doctrine of our church, they should start a new church or join a church more aligned to their views”
You mean a bit like Henry VIII did? The irony.
It makes sense to me. You don’t need to change a club, venue or rules to suit yourself. Start your own club, venue and decide your own rules. There’s far too much pandering to be inclusive, it’s fine to exclude people who don’t want what you want.
Queue cries of discrimination from the woke.
But fuckit, if I want a club for middle aged technophiles with a love of beer, burgers and boobs it’s my choice. You can have your own My Little Pony club if you want.
The bible is crystal clear on this. You are not a christian if you support same sex relationships. End of story.
You also must kill people who work on Sundays.
Except for the women who are expected to cook the Sunday roast and make a pudding for her man and family. Apparently that is not work because all we women love to cook and clean.

A wife is an attachment you screw on the bed to do the housework.
Fark me in the Arse!!!
Only 50 years too late to save the trough, you collared little piggies
