ALERT: Dr. Rowan Williams and The Church Of England Synod--Validate a shameful Anglican Covenant ¨cleansing¨ pogrom--sends it to the dioceses for review

A rotted-at-the-core campaign targeted against basic decency and all humanity has been endorsed by the Church of England Synod in the form of a punitive Anglican Communion Covenant that was passed today in London.  The ¨covenant¨ will now be sent to the Church of England dioceses for review and approval/not, and returned to the Synod for final acceptance/or not.

Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury has covertly steamrolled a no-debate vote for the exclusion of LGBTI people at all levels of Anglicanlife at the Synod.  Rowan Williams forced,  by threat and dishonorable pleading, the endorsement of a ¨covenant¨ that will most likely pertpetuate ignorance and will generate fear/hate and excluding at progressive as well as morally ¨challenged¨ provinces throughout the Anglican Communion.  Real Anglicans will suffer and even die because of the lack of moral and spiritual leadership and support at The Church of England Synod.  Many Anglicans worshipping in Global South Provinces of the Anglican Communion are in danger of being further demonized and abused thanks to the insistent demands of +Williams.

The Archbishop of Caturbury,  for some time, has ¨listened¨ carefully to those who demonize,  outcast, persecute and harm LGBTI Anglicans in Africa and beyond Africa as he ignores the bloody hate-crimes that are a result of irresponsible anti-LGBTI preaching at Church.   These are the facts for many of us:  Rowan Williams turned his head away from Hate Crimes in England, in Jamaica, in Africa and anywhere they occur-where innocent blood flows beacause of bigotry. Yesterday and today Rowan Williams looked away from universal suffering and abuse of LGBTI Anglicans in favor of promoting a deceitful and lofty plan of faux unity at The Anglican Communion. 

The harming of real LGBTI Anglicans worldwide by pandering for a dangerous covenant amongst puritans and self-righteous schemers/grandstanders and demeaners is spiritually damaged beliving.  Ignoring ¨the least amongst us¨ at The Body of Christ promotes and perpetuates emotionally twisted thinking at Church.

 Today Rowan Williams has become a bonafide dangerously irresponsible person and unfit spiritual leader.

A WAKEUP CALL to believers who sit by while unimaginable evils occur in the name of Jesus...

...and say nothing other besides defensively whining that "all Christians aren't like that," or that the person reacting in grief and outrage is simply "persecuting Christians" because he's a "nonbeliever"(whether he's a nonbeliever or not.)

Michelangelos ¨Pieta¨ Vatican, Rome

"Love" is a quantifiable commodity, much as "faith" is. Neither, if they're true to their nature, can tolerate darkness. Both will eventually surge, gasping, towards the light.


Still, it is possible to murder faith.

You murder faith same way you murder love: one bruise at a time, with small, daily cuts, with grinding contempt, with neglect. You murder faith by exposing it to bullets inscribed with Bible verses that kill Afghan and Iraqi children. You murder it by separating an elderly lesbian couple in a hospital because their union is considered "unnatural." You murder it by linking it to greed, to the "God wants you to be rich" movement which marinates in loathing for the poor and needy, in defiance of Christ's commission to care for them, then call it "good for America." You murder it by exposing it to any number of atrocities wrapped up in an inviolate nationalism that claims divine authority as its basis, with no room for dissent, and no mercy for dissenters. You murder it with self-righteous, violent militarism, with intolerance, with lack of compassion, with lack of humility and, most importantly, with lack of humanity.


It dies a little bit more every time a gay or lesbian teenager commits suicide because they've been taught to hate themselves because God "loves" them but hates what they are...¨ read it all at the Huffington Post, by Michael Rowe HERE

Anne Rice wrote the following on her Facebook page: ¨...I quit being a Christian. I'm out. In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of ...Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.¨

¨...Now, any two-bit hater can call him/herself a "Christian," and even get away with it by attending buildings called "churches" that house people who engage in incestuous socialization, convincing themselves and, unfortunately, many others that when they are homophobic and exclusionary they are fulfilling the will of Christ and speaking in the name of God...¨read it all, by The Reverend Jerry Maneker HERE
