<a href="http://acl.asn.au/the-christmas-of-cultural-christianity/">Phillip Jensen writes</a>...Christmas is the high point of Cultural Christianity. It creates joy and confusion; joy to our culture and confusion to Christians...<br />
<br />
<br />
Indeed, Cultural Christianity lies at the basis of Australian civil life. .<br />
However, there is such a thing as Christian Christianity – it’s not just a matter of interpretation. Christianity is based in the reality of the Son of God: his incarnation, words and works, crucifixion and resurrection, and promise to return to judge. <strong><span style="color: red;">All this may be false or it may be true</span></strong> – but either way Christian Christianity is committed to the belief and propagation of these ideas.<br />
Cultural Christians don’t have to believe in Jesus to sing carols any more than they have to believe in Santa Clause to sing <em>Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer</em>. Christian Christianity is quite different. Christians do believe in Jesus and do know the difference between the historical reality of Jesus and the mythical nonsense of Santa and the reindeer.<br />
Christian Christians can appeal to Cultural Christians to put Christ back into Christmas but it will not make any real difference, they will still be Cultural Christians. However, Christian Christians cannot put Christ back into Christmas because without him they have no Christmas.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><em>Uggghhhh....I just had an ugly thought....what if Jesus Christ had been someone like Phillip Jensen...stripped of love and compassion for women and gays... only valuing women who behaved the way he wanted them to... allowing them a voice only amongst their own gender....always subservient to a male no matter how mean and nasty and stupid he is...imagine if Jesus had called same-sex attracted people shameful and had remained silent when members of his faith supported a death penalty to be imposed...someone who promoted discrimination and segregation...someone who ended, and encouraged others to end fellowship with a same-sex attracted person because he chose love and companionship and God... Calam the concept makes you recoil with repulsion....a mean spirited, rule driven, spiritual Jesus (that in itself is bizarre)... who to this day ...uses his word ....to protect the economic and cultural collateral of angry straight males...and those who gain secondary benefits... And maybe ....that's why many people... do choose to be Cultural Christians.</em></span></div>

<br />
<br />
Rev. Dr Keith Mascord appears to be the first Anglican casualty of the same-sex marriage debate.<br />
The Anglican Archbishop of Sydney Dr Glenn Davies has decided not to renew Rev. Mascord's ministry licence.<br />
Dr Mascord - an outspoken advocate for reform in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney - has told Noel Debien that churches need to give people the freedom to say what they think and believe in the debate <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/sundaynights/signpost-keith-mascord/7896786">about marriage.</a> <br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><em>All I am doing is upholding and defending marriage as it has been understood and embraced for thousands of years.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Dear Anonymous. It's flattering that you missed the posts on this blog... but I really believe that Sydney Anglicans are not worth the effort. They have used a literal interpretation of the Bible to push themselves into oblivion. Their only appeal belongs with right wing extremists, and those from countries, who treat women as second class citizens, and gays, as criminals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anon, as you point out...even the teachers and girls being taught at Anglican Colleges find their doctrine on male headship offensive... How stupid to charge massive school fees to educate women to metaphorically walk behind, and never question their man...<a href="http://resting-applebananapear.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/meet-jensens.html">no matter how wrong, incompetent or dumb he is!!!!!!</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="first" style="text-align: justify;">
<em><br /></em><br />
<em><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-12/prefects-anger-over-archbishops-address/7164568">Students and teachers</a> from some of Sydney's Anglican high schools say they are shocked and angered by remarks made by one of the church's most senior clerics.</em></div>
<div class="inner" style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Before delivering a speech to year 12 prefects during the Annual Service for Anglican School Leaders on Thursday, Archbishop of Sydney Glenn Davies faced a series of robust questions from male and female students about the place of women.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>In explaining his view that the Bible says men and women have different roles in society and that God intended men to be the "heads" of women, many present believed he was saying women should not aspire to the same career heights as men.</em> <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my opinion...the diocese is a waste of space. As far as I'm concerned the diocese has been built on faulty prejudicial doctrine, which has failed to stand up over time, so the diocese's only way of coping, to use litigation practices, and name calling, to maintain it's prejudicial stance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
And to the other Anon....David Ould gets off on bashing gays. Seriously...he's a man with a big mouth and a massive ego, who has an opinion on everything. He loves gaining notoriety from being divisive, and he cannot understand that his manner is offensive. He causes anger in those who have been victims of, or witnesses to, prejudicial abuse, and those who have been coerced into silence, through threats of litigation.<br />
From the words of Peter Jensen said ...in the 1980s the culture in the church was a <a href="http://resting-applebananapear.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/former-sydney-anglican-archbishop.html">legal one and not a moral one</a>. <br />

A witness, given the pseudonym BYC, has told a hearing of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse in Hobart he was abused on multiple occasions by a member of the Church of England Boys’ Society when he was a teenager in Sydney during the late 1970s and 1980s.<br />
Bishop Jensen told the commission the church had failed to deal with the allegations of abuse victims and their aftermath.<br />
“It has been so overwhelming to hear their testimony and to recognise how frequently we failed them,” he said.<br />
“I head what BYC has said about the continued failure and about the way we speak and do not act.<br />
“Again I wish to say to them they have taught me so much.<br />

Bishop Jensen said that in the 1980s the culture in the church was a legal one and not a moral one. <br />
<span style="color: black;">“I believe it was under advice, but I believe it was quite wrong,” he said.</span><br />

BYC’s mother also gave evidence this morning, saying the abuse had ruined her son’s life.<br />
“I had no idea about the abuse while it was occurring,” she said.<br />
She told the commission she met with Archbishop Peter Jensen in 2002 to tell him about her son’s case. The archbishop subsequently apologised to BYC in person.<br />
But she said a church lawyer later warned her that if BYC pursued compensation “the church’s barristers will come out guns blazing and tear strips off you”.<br />
She said the damage caused to her son by the abuse had been compounded by the unsympathetic response and inaction of the church.<br />
Richard Kells worked with CEBS from 1976 and told the commission he made multiple attempts to raise the alarm about Jacobs but was repeatedly rebuffed by church officials.<br />
He said he was ostracised by some members of the St Ives congregation because of his concerns and left the congregation in 1982.<br />

<a href="http://loonpond.blogspot.com.au/">Dorothy quotes Claire Smith at the Loonpond</a>...<em>If, however, you mean, ‘Is it sexist in that women are inferior to men?’ then it’s not sexist. This is not a statement about worth. It’s a statement about our participation in the congregation and in one limited aspect of what happens in our congregation involving teaching and authority. In fact, not even all teaching, but a particular sort of teaching: the ongoing, authoritative, formal instruction of the congregation. So, it’s saying, ‘Women are to be submissive in that they are not to have a formal teaching role with respect to men in the congregation.’ They are not to engage in that sort of teaching. </em><br />

Fucking patriachs - all of the one God religions are anti-women. It was when they wrote Lilith - hunter gatherer woman - out of history and replaced her with the gormless Eve - agricultural woman - that the 'original sin' was perpetrated on both men and women. <br />
<br />
From wiki:<br />
<br />
"The idea in the text that Adam had a wife prior to Eve may have developed from an interpretation of the Book of Genesis and its dual creation accounts; while Genesis 2:22 describes God's creation of Eve from Adam's rib, an earlier passage, 1:27, already indicates that a woman had been made: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." <br />
<br />
"The Alphabet text places Lilith's creation after God's words in Genesis 2:18 that "it is not good for man to be alone"; in this text God forms Lilith out of the clay from which he made Adam but she and Adam bicker. Lilith claims that since she and Adam were created in the same way they were equal and she refuses to submit to him:[57] <br />
<br />
"The background and purpose of The Alphabet of Ben-Sira is unclear. It is a collection of stories about heroes of the Bible and Talmud, it may have been a collection of folk-tales, a refutation of Christian, Karaite, or other separatist movements; its content seems so offensive to contemporary Jews that it was even suggested that it could be an anti-Jewish satire,[58] although, in any case, the text was accepted by the Jewish mystics of medieval Germany."</div>

Crap anon, Lilith would have eaten the snake, made sauce from the apple and given Adam a good time and then she could be a lezzie in her spare time if she felt like it. Only the power of property relations explains the conservative women like Eve who survive the patriarchy by sucking up the blame for everything the alpha Adam man chooses to do, like eating the apple she offered him. What a little boy, dog ate my homework type excuse for making the wrong choice? My mother would have said "and if Adam jumped off the cliff would you follow?".<br />
<br />
But here you go; a real life running dog collaborator Eve on RN this morning - of course on the Tom Switzer program - a dinosaur woman who must be Miranda Divines' heroine and source of her wisdom. <br />
<br />
Christina Hoff Sommers says, "But some commentators warn that today’s modern feminism is a corruption of what feminism should be; that feminism is no longer about freedom, it’s just a lobby group for pet grievances. That it's not so much about emancipation; it’s now reactionary."<br />
<br />
But she is in favour of lezzies, listen and weep. <br />

Hi Dorothy, <br />
<br />
It would appear that nowadays the Liberals have two Saviours in their pantheon, God and Coal.<br />
<br />
The question however is how do the creationists among them explain the formation of coal. Thanks to the intertubes we can wonder no longer;<br />

Thanks Claire Smith. Now I know why Xians don't support SSM: they can't tell who the submissive partner is. And now I know why that is so critical to their whole existence.<br />
Maybe if we offered to wear labels that would resolve the issue? A dress? HIgh heels? I'd do almost anything to marry my partner of 20 years; I'd even be prepared to identify as the submissive one - at least in public.</div>

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jviSmMQD1zw/Vet-XtOESoI/AAAAAAAAMrw/oL9Jv_MVxT8/s1600/same%2Bsex%2Bmarriage%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jviSmMQD1zw/Vet-XtOESoI/AAAAAAAAMrw/oL9Jv_MVxT8/s1600/same%2Bsex%2Bmarriage%2B2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://davidould.net/?p=8071">David Ould</a> is in a flap! God forbid...the bishop of Wangaratta (not Sydney!!!)... Bishop John Parkes... a former barrister... has told the <a href="http://wangarattachronicle.com.au/2015/09/04/bishop-breaks-ground/"><em>Chronicle</em></a> that he believes the country has “grown up” and that the federal government will be bound within a relatively short time to change the Marriage Act to enable people of the same gender to marry.<br />
<br />
David Ould being a true religious fundamentalist... believes that no one is allowed to have an opinion or speak publicly, especially if the views expressed, differ to his views. <br />
<br />
It seems that David is the only Anglican who has the right to publish articles, write blogs, make radio and TV appearances, and endorse these with the acknowledgement of his status as a Sydney Anglican minister.<br />
<br />
Of course...the endorsement of Sydney Anglicanism immediately reminds the listener, viewer and reader that homophobic and misogynist comments will follow. <br />
<br />
However Bishop John Parks is not a Sydney Anglican so why does David Ould expect Bishop Parks to be stupid and bigoted in his comments?<br />
<br />

<a href="http://davidould.net/?p=8062">David Ould</a> is again whinging about the appointment of Rev Head to another parish. Rev Head is reported to be in a same sex relationship. David criticised and called for the sacking of Rev Head and hounded Bishop McIntyre until he passed away. Now David Ould is turning his attention to Bishop McIntyre's replacement...shock...horror...a woman...Bishop Kay Goldsworthy. He'll be able to blame her decision making on her gender...because David doesn't believe that God created women to preach his word to males.<br />
David claims that the Diocese of Gippsland has broken rule 7.4 from Faithfulness in Service...<em>You are to be chaste and not engage in sex outside of marriage.</em><br />

<h1>
<span style="font-size: small;"><em>March this year, the ACL hosted its own conference, ‘Is there a future for confessional Anglicanism?’ (a closed question with an obvious answer). I believe it was significant in restating that gospel confession is not just Christian but a rich part of our Anglican heritage.

<em>This year the ACL was the proud sponsor of the FCA Australian launch.

<li><em>The <strong>membership</strong> taskforce continues to promote and recruit membership applicants. They have proved that the ol’ ACL can get with the technical times. A new state of the art database has been commissioned, which will be jointly managed by the members themselves, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.</em><span style="color: red;"> (God loves technology more than people ...and let's not forget money!)</span></li>
<li><em>The <strong>communications</strong> taskforce has communicated the ACL’s activities with you.

<li><em>The <strong>training</strong> taskforce ensures that we are not only recommending people for diocesan roles but supporting them.

<em>During last year’s triennium elections three of our five contested elections were won, including all candidates for General Synod. At least ten vacancies were filled by new people but were uncontested. Four of these were on Standing Committee.

And don't you love Gav's comments <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/ordination-of-women-sydneys-anglican-diocese-out-of-step-with-the-times-20140715-ztdfi.html#ixzz3g7kfDLIi">HERE</a> ....<br />
<em>The Anglican Church League president, the Reverend Gav Poole, said that while he disagrees with the ''inevitable'' Church of England decision (to ordain women bishops), he admires its approach, which has made allowances for minorities who do not support the ordination of women.</em><br />
<em>England's decision came two years after a similar vote failed on grounds that it did not include provisions for those who in good conscience could not accept the leadership of a woman.</em><br />
<em>Echoing both sides of the ordination divide, any shift in local attitudes was likely to be a long way off, Mr Poole said.</em><br />
<em>''Sydney is known around the world for its evangelical character and its holding to the authority of the scriptures,'' he said. ''That's a long tradition here in Sydney and something we have always appreciated</em>.''<br />

<em>Other organisations working with offenders both inside of prison and outside, hold to the practice that those working with them do not need to know the crime. They expect their workers and volunteers to exhibit an unconditional acceptance of a person, just as Christ himself accepts us. This is a very powerful aspect of working with people who for most of their lives have experienced abuse and very little acceptance.</em><br />

</em><em>But welcoming a person into the fellowship of the people of God involves more than acceptance...<br />
While excommunicating the believer who does not repent seems harsh it is what the Scriptures tell us to do and has also been Anglican practise from the beginning. In 1 Corinthians 5 the Bible tells us to remove the immoral, arrogant person. This is not done with any sense that we are better than him. The whole purpose of excluding the unrepentant brother or sister from fellowship is so that they will realise that sin is a serious matter. The hope is, having been delivered over to Satan (v.5), they will repent and be restored to fellowship. </em>

<a href="http://acl.asn.au/the-heresy-of-racial-superiority/">The Anglican Church League</a> loves Albert Mohler because everyone knows that Sydney Anglicans are not really Anglicans ....but Baptists in disguise. <br />
Mohler says...<em>More humbling still is the fact that many churches, churchmen, and theologians gave sanction to that ideology of racial superiority. While this was true throughout the southern churches, Southern Baptists bear a particular responsibility and burden of history. The Southern Baptist Convention was not only founded by slaveholders; it was founded by men who held to an ideology of racial superiority and who bathed that ideology in scandalous theological argument. At times, white superiority was defended by a putrid exegesis of the Bible that claimed a “curse of Ham” as the explanation of dark skin — an argument that reflects such ignorance of Scripture and such shameful exegesis that it could only be believed by those who were looking for an argument to satisfy their prejudices..... </em><br />

David Ould is becoming the new face of the <a href="http://acl.asn.au/do-you-love-me-putting-the-carriage-before-the-horse-in-the-same-sex-marriage-debate/">Anglican Church League</a>... since <a href="http://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justintaylor/2008/10/02/phillip-jensen-response-to-mark/">the old face</a> has stepped aside from being all over the net! And David is upholding the hypocritical form displayed by Sydney Anglican fundamentalists. <a href="http://davidould.net/?p=7852">David criticises Hillsong</a> for inviting Mark Driscoll... to speak at an event... but when it is pointed out that Sydney Anglicans actually had him speak at numerous events...including to students at Moore College.... and preaching at St Andrew's Cathedral... then David Ould claims... that no one knew what Mark Driscoll was like back then. In fact many people knew what Mark Driscoll was like... but much of what was published about him and by him ...reflected the Sydney Anglican stance. It was only after Mark Driscoll spoke ....and criticised ....the <a href="http://matthiasmedia.com/briefing/2008/09/mark-driscoll-rolls-grenade-down-aisle/">Sydney Anglican elders approach to evangelism</a>.... that some <a href="http://sydneyanglicans.net/blogs/evangelism/driscoll_promotes_wrong_mission_strategy">Sydney Anglicans</a> queried his approach. What is interesting is that the most prolific ....all over the net ....Sydney Anglican..... David Ould... remained quiet about Mark Driscoll....back then! But Mark Driscoll was a member of the The Gospel Coalition back then...Wouldn't like to snuff out any future opportunities!<br />

<em>Mark Driscoll also wrote...<a href="http://www.dennyburk.com/mark-driscoll-on-women-in-ministry-2/">Without blushing</a>, Paul is simply stating that when it comes to leading in the church, women are unfit because they are more gullible and easier to deceive than men. While many irate women have disagreed with his assessment through the years, it does appear from this that such women who fail to trust his instruction and follow his teaching are much like their mother Eve and are well-intended but ill-informed. . . Before you get all emotional like a woman in hearing this, please consider the content of the women’s magazines at your local grocery store that encourages liberated women in our day to watch porno with their boyfriends, master oral sex for men who have no intention of marrying them, pay for their own dates in the name of equality, spend an average of three-fourths of their childbearing years having sex but trying not to get pregnant, and abort 1/3 of all babies. . . and ask yourself if it doesn’t look like the Serpent is still trolling the garden and that the daughters of Eve aren’t gullible in pronouncing progress, liberation, and equality (p. 43). </em></div>

Instead he uses twisted thinking to justify his fundamentalist anti same-sex marriage stance. He uses arranged marriages to validate the term marriage and meaning of marriage. <br />
He must be in favour of the new TV show <a href="http://www.fyi.tv/shows/married-at-first-sight">Married at First Sight</a> where couples marry and then get to know each other.<br />

I live a very different life to many many people around me, some of whom think I’m nuts. But I don’t demand that they affirm me. I don’t ask the government to make it illegal for them to criticise my moral choices..</em>. WTF...Is this about his right to discriminate ...because he sure is allowed to marry for love ...or arrange his own marriage... And I DO think he demanded that it be deemed illegal ...when he was criticised for writing articles ...that many felt were nothing short of encouraging hatred and bigotry. David found the<a href="http://gafcon.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/jesus-loves-little-blackmail.html"> opinions</a> of others to be offensive... yet never considered how others felt when they were exposed to his self righteous and judgmental articles that he published on the Standfirm and personal blogsites...
