Shocking confession by Lord Runcie about ordaining homosexuals
THE former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Runcie, has admitted that he knowingly ordained practising homosexuals to the ministry of the Church.
Bishops and other senior churchmen have been taken by surprise and are privately appalled. They need hardly be surprised when they have effectively sanctioned homosexual relations among the laity by allowing homosexuals to be members of the Church.
How preposterous for such churchmen to be claiming that they are Christians, let alone the spiritual guides of the people. That the sin which brought divine destruction upon Sodom should be condoned or promoted by political leaders is exceedingly serious, and is provoking to the infinitely holy and just God. That it should be permitted and condoned in the national church is much more serious and altogether shocking.
Religious education is destroying children’s religious beliefs
“MOST children can’t cope with a multi-faith approach in primary schools. They just get confused… so that they end up thinking Moses is Moslem.” This is the conclusion, not surprisingly, of senior research fellow, Dr William Kay, in his book, Drift From The Churches.
Multi-faith education, introduced at primary level in the 1970s, is helping to destroy children’s religious beliefs, he says, and has contributed to both the decline in church attendance and the growing secularisation of society. Also, youngsters in Church of England schools are being driven away from Christianity by “wishy washy” lessons.
On the other hand, says Dr Kay, in RC schools where teachers stand up for their beliefs the children are being strengthened in their religion.
It is past time that in this nominally Christian and Protestant country there be a scrapping of multi-faith education in our schools and a return to the teaching of the truth of Scriptural Christianity.
Ban on homosexuals serving in the armed forces is retained
ANOTHER attempt in Parliament to end the ban on homosexuals serving in the armed forces failed. Campaigners against the ban continue their efforts, and it seems they will go to the European Court of Human Rights, and maybe the European Court of Justice. Labour leader Tony Blair has made it clear that he believes the ban is not fair and that his party backs the principle that people should not be barred from the military because they are homosexual.
During the debate in Parliament, Edwina Currie MP, who spearheaded the move against the ban, said that failure to end it was “to our country’s shame”. It is our shame that sodomy has been legalised by our Parliament. God, whose law takes precedence over human law, will not be mocked. He will deal in judgement with those who condone or commit this vile sin if they refuse to repent and seek His pardon. Certain people in Corinth who committed this sin in Paul’s day obtained forgiveness. (1 Cor 6:9-11).
