Hello John (Broadhurst) got a new denomination?

Bishop John Broadhurst asking of himself, "what's good about John Broadhurst?" answers, "He outrageously says what others only think!'He also states that this is also what's good about him too!

He is, apparently, resigning and seeking to join the ordinariate when it comes into being, taking his pension and swimming.

Highlighting the fact that the high church end of the Anglican Church is neither wanted or honoured, he claims that such promises to protect the integrity of other is now nothing but a 'deceit' and makes liars of many honourable people.

To support this claim he quotes from the 29/10/93 House of Commons proceedings which, recognising the divided views on the issue, stated that there would be safeguards such that people would not be asked to act against their consciences. There would be continuing provisions without limit of time, permanent parochial safeguards to prevent this ever happening.

This has fallen with the decision of the General synod and has made liars of otherwise honourable people who have promised otherwise!

He asks, "Is the C of E now an independent state that it can override the state? Can the often poorly trained clergy be trusted to make the decisions they do?" He makes the observation that "If those who opposed women's ordination treated women they way that they are treated, they would be quite rightly chastised and acted against. We live in a two-tier and perhaps duplicitous society within the C of E!"

Seems that the revisionists are free to act as they wish and those who support the orthodox view and marginalised and acted against with the blessing, nay perhaps incitement would be better, of the General Synod and those who are appointed to maintain theological rectitude.

Hear the whole talk here: here

Makes for some interesting thinking and highlights the problems that will be facing the Church in England over the coming months and years. Just more ground lost and a weakened community.

A very sad situation indeed especially in the light of the RC's positioning and the capital being made out of the suicides of young homosexuals in the US. We live in a time of thinly veiled deceit and gross uncharitableness.

God forgive us all!
