I'm glad I once again persevered to the end because your remarks on the Anglican church's departure from biblical orthodoxy in approving same sex marriage were very interesting, as were the clips you included. You have a genius for clips. If I were writing it, I would have led off with the Anglican story or maybe even made 2 articles out of it - but then again, I wasn't.

It's not of course the first "departure" for the Church of England. This latest step was spearheaded by the lady Bishop of London. It must be very difficult for biblically faithful Anglicans, but one senses that the water is warming up and some of them are talking of "unity" and "pain" as if those were the issues.

Perhaps they should have heeded Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones in his debate with John Stott decades ago, when he called faithful evangelicals out of Anglicanism (and went largely unheeded.)

And yet there are many good pastors left. I commend this extraordinarily courageous, direct and clear address from Rev Calvin Robinson at the Oxford Union. The debate was held during Synod's deliberations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=ymbTb2HS5Rc

Intolerant always win at tolerance game, by definition hence default. It pays to colour outside the lines: pure benefits, no costs to speak of. New lines are briskly redrawn in the aftermath.

Rinse lather repeat. Shouldn't be so hard to notice this dynamic, a rocket surgery it sure isn't. Oh well 😒😶
