Anglican Mainstream reports attack on Christians in Nigeria but refrains from mentioning the GAFCON link to persecution of gays in Ghana!

Anglican Mainstream report that Christians in the Nigeria are under threat from a militant Islamic group, which is fighting to establish an Islamic state in the north. What Anglican Mainstream failed to report is that Christians have joined Muslims in Ghana to sway the government to rid the country of gays and lesbians! It is reported that... Ghana’s Western Region Minister, Paul Evans Aidoo MP has ordered the immediate arrest of all homosexuals in the country’s west and has tasked Ghana’s Bureau of National Investigations and security forces to round up the country’s gay population , calling upon on landlords and tenants to inform on people they suspect of being homosexuals. “All efforts are being made to get rid of these people in the society,” he said. The move by the Minister follows months of campaigning by the Christian Council of Ghana and Muslims. The Anglican Church in Ghana is a member of the Christian Council of Ghana and the Archbishop of Ghana is a member of the anti-gay group known as GAFCON.




Isn't it good to know that people of all fundamentalist faiths can get along together when they have a minority to persecute?

Matt Kennedy at Standfirm says about the Soverign Grace Ministry debarkle over pride ..."Honestly don't these people have REAL sin to confront?"

WHAT LIKE GAY PRIDE?
Matt Kennedy is critical of the pastors who think CJ Mahaney is acting too proud. Reports indicate that C J Mahaney has taken leave to do some soul searching. Matt goes onto state... they rate him on his pride, and they schedule meetings to talk about his pride, and CJ repents of 9 of 11 species of pride that they have identified, and they go back to the drawing board to identify examples of the other two species of pride, they email each other to ask if others have seen that pride, and then CJ thinks those fit under the first species of pride, and they chart the pride, and so on. Blah. Wouldn’t it be nice if occasionally love covered a multitude of sins.

Sounds like C J is being subject to reparatory therapy! Pity Matt's love couldn't be extended to include another species of pride called gay pride!

Even SOME Sydney Anglicans think that media manipulation is repulsive!

Sydney Anglican and ex politican Karin Sowada wonders if Julia Gillard's stance on the carbon tax makes her a visionary or a woman on a suicide mission. Karin displayed an unusual level of balanced thinking and compassion (something rarely seen in Sydney Anglicans) when she wrote...The recent vilification of Julia Gillard in some sections of the public and the media has been repulsive.

Has Karin gone soft? Has she forgotten that she works for Sydney Anglicans... compassion leads to empathy and empathy is not part of the evangelical psyche

Don't worry parrot...Julia's not a lesbian or looking to be ordained!

Are those at Anglican Mainstream really Tea Party Baptists who believe in reparatory therapy like Southern Baptist Albert Mohler?

Anglican Mainstream posted Albert Mohler's article about Christianity's need for reparatory therapy, which read like a Tea Party campaign for the presidential election of Michele Bachmann. Her husband has been accused of using public funds to cure gays!
Albert Mohler states...Known as reparative therapy or sexual orientation conversion therapy, these approaches seek to assist individuals to change their sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual. The cultural and political debate over reparative therapy emerged when a clinic run by Marcus Bachmann, husband of Republican candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann, was accused of offering treatment and counseling intended to change sexual orientation. .. Christians cannot avoid the debate over reparative therapy, nor can we enter the debate on secular terms.
So Anglican Mainstream are rooting for us! It's comforting to know that they are taking the wrong route out of sexual sinfulnesss!
And what about those Sydney Calvinists... Theyv'e got a few mad hatters who would feel right at home with us!


Of course it is written in the Bible that Albert Mohler and Anglican evangelicals are in charge of the mental health of LGBT people and psychiatrists know nothing! Wait a minute...isn't that Scientology?

Intimacy Jensenist style...

So it's OK for a Sydney Anglican male to have sex for reproduction purposes but as far as a relationships go you say... I don't think relationships are important at all. Jesus is all I need!
Sydney Anglican Nicky Locke addressed the difficulties that some Christian men and women experience with intimacy. The piece elicited an unusual no doubt tongue in cheek response by one man!
Hey Bert I can't wait until Moore College does that whole day ontrue feelings!

Yeah Alf ...it will give a whole new perspective to the word intimacy.



I don't have trouble with intimacy... I've listened to Phillip Jensen preach about emotions!

Muriel Porter taps into the Sydney Anglican psyche with her new book cover... that epitomises the Sydney Anglican wet dream!

Sydney Anglicans and the Threat to World Anglicanism The Sydney Experiment (Ashgate Contemporary Ecclesiology)
So Alf, next time a Sydney Anglican asks you what you do when you get a hard on in the middle of the night...say you do what any good Sydney Anglican would do and give yourself to Calvin!

Hey Bert ... how many copies are you buying?

Australian Anglican priest deserves the Victoria Cross for his bravery in speaking out against the regime that heads the Diocese of Mordor aka Sydney!

Approaching the publication of Muriel Porter's new book Sydney Anglicans and the Threat to World Anglicanism, a niave but brave priest has spoken out about what he calls spiritual abuse!
He says...What I learned from a number of undergraduates and postgraduates who had experienced the Jensenist-style Anglicanism that has infiltrated several Oxford parishes, was that bullying and spiritual coercion are at the heart of the Jensenist model of ministry, and a direct outcome of the false doctrine of headship. What is happening in many of the parishes where Jensenist clergy hold sway is – I am not afraid to name it – spiritual abuse. For me the issue came into clear focus when a student member of one of these churches began attending St Mary the Virgin, and was subjected to a barrage of emails, phone calls, even knocks on the door for impromptu chats, from fellow Jensenists warning him that to leave “the group” would mean damnation and, indeed, that going to a church like liberal St Mary’s would be worse than going no-where at all. When it became clear that he was indeed “lost” his entire peer-group for the past six years of his life cut him off as though dead... the example is not isolated. I dealt with this issue several times in England. And in Australia, in every parish I have ever worked, the back pew has been populated from time to time by people scared and scarred by their experience of church, almost inevitably of the Jensenist sort, often through youth ministry, who are, often years later, trying again in a place that they hope (but do not trust) might be more Christ-like than that which they had left behind.

I hope this brave man is ready for a character assassination or at the best censorship! For Anglican women who can't conform to the rigidity of Jensenism, it's like being pushed out onto the limb of a tree and then having the branch cut off!
