Gillard Government's $25.9 million to help problem gamblers is nothing more than a drop in the ocean when trying to help Sydney Anglicans with their $160 million gambling loss!

The Sydney Anglican website featured an article about the Gillard government making available  $25.9 million over 4 years to help problem gamblers ...but will that be enough to save Sydney Anglicans?


Perhaps the Gillard Government could develop a problem gambling phone app to help Sydney Anglicans?  




Grant Millard the CEO of Anglicare, the welfare arm of Sydney Anglicans, has criticised  the Gillard government's budget because, like Sydney Anglicans, it  punishes the marginalised.

Well Ennis...at least we're in a country that no longer inflicts jail or the death penalty on its second class citizens!

Yeah Jake ...and what about the Grant Millard quote... "The most powerful thing the Church can do is encourage Christians and wider society to look beyond their own interests, as it points to a Saviour who came to seek and save the lost"... And Anglicare, the social welfare arm of Sydney Anglicans, would never employ GLBTI people or unmarried mothers! They'd rather the government provide for them with welfare benefits!

Queen Elizabeth 11 is the inspiration for Complementarianism at Moore College

Jane Tooher is responsible for making the teaching of Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood better at Moore College. She is one of 2 women on the staff of 24. The other is Tara Thorley who is in charge of producing the 'Equal but Different' journal. Both women are committed to training women in the art of Biblical submission. Jane gained her inspiration from Queen Elizabeth when she said... It's all to do with training: you can do a lot if your properly trained. Just like Jane, Queen Elizabeth only reigns over the female half of the population!

No Darlene... there is nothing stupid about that statement! Jane probably means if  the Queen can lead a country then women can lead parishes if they are trained.

... .Yeah right Roseanne...and what ordained Sydney Anglican male who knows the power of Biblical Authority is going to want to share that with a woman? He's sure not going to want to submit to a woman in God's name when she says to him when he won't agree with her..."You sound like someone who has some faith in the Lord Jesus, and I urge you to (submit) and put things right."...Heard that one before ...but it works much better when you have a Bible in your hand and the person is kneeling before you...I've heard it's a real 3 in the morning 'hard on' when it comes to Biblical Authority!

For God's sake Darlene...lighten up! Didn't you hear the one about the woman who worked for fundamentalists? She stood before the synod and said she was never meant to be the head of a parish church because she was a woman...and she got a standing ovation from all the male fundamentalists. Now I don't know if it's stupid but it sure is funny! Oh, oh,oh...and what about this one...One woman who was working for the same group of fundamentalists said about women's ordination...You can't be half pregnant...you cannot organise a diocese on two principles of leadership...And what would a Complementarian woman know about the leadership of a diocese?...I say to that woman "know thy place'... because some of us can cope with twins!

"The worse thing for a gay Christian is to fall in love" says Matthew ...because then he has to choose between the person he loves and his faith.

Thank you to Noble Wolf for this video

I know what it's like to be forced to choose between two things you love. It can be soul destroying.

Don't worry Matthew... those ex-gay ministries will help turn you into an emotional eunich in no time!

Happy Mother's Day

Quick Roseanne...they're televising Mother's Day from the Cathedral.

 

Submit...and don't forget to pay for the priviledge on the way out!

Sydney Anglican, Archie Poulos asks the question...‘should my wife and I sit together in church?’

Well I don't know Archie...it's probably the only time you'd get to see her...what with the apartheid approach to men's and women's ministry in Sydney!...Oh making those prayer book bookmarks looks like real fun...I might come along when Dan's at one of those  men's ministry programs!

Oh look Roseanne...they're televising Sydney Anglicans...

I don't care what Paul said...you tell him to come listen, and then go home and explain to my husband, Mark Baddeledy's 5 part series about how it's going to take men another 2,000 years to agree on Complementarianism!

The Movement for the Ordination of Women celebrates the 20th anniversary of the first women priests in Australia

The 20th anniversary events, in Sydney, include a seminar to recall and commemorate the various, central and, often, unrecognized, roles of women in the history of the Australian Anglican Church and Bishop Kay Goldsworthy preaching at St Luke's Enmore. Click here for the full list of Australian events.

Doesn't Bishop Goldsworthy know May 13th is Mother's Day? She can't preach on Mother's Day...that's the Sydney Anglican's annual day of female submission! I wonder if they will hand out free Mark Baddeley's five part series on the future of complementarianism, as a Mother's Day gift...and sponsored by the Sydney Anglican diocese, just like The Essential Jesus?

I see Muriel Porter's coming to town...you know the one who wrote Sydney Anglicans and the threat to world Anglicanism

Listen Darlene..."she’s hardly in a place to claim that Sydney ought not to be in the Australian Church. To be consistent, she should remove herself. At the moment she appears a little like a tennis player complaining that the local bowls club that she signed up for doesn’t play the game the way she likes it".

Well I don't know who that Mandela fella is...but everyone knows you need your water boiling to make a billy of tea .
