Controversy in Cornwall Town as Vicar Starts New Church Accused of Extremism and Homophobia [UK]

Philip de Grey-Warter has resigned from the Church of England

There are concerns in a Cornish town that a new church, which meets for the first time next week, is “extremist” and “homophobic”.

The Vicar of Fowey has resigned in order to start a new Anglican church in the town, under the auspices of an organisation which has been dubbed right wing.

The Rev Philip de Grey-Warter has resigned as Vicar of Fowey and Priest-in-Charge of Golant after 17 years to “plant” a new church community, Anchor, under the auspices of GAFCON, a controversial global movement of conservative Anglican clergy.

Mr de Grey-Warter decided to leave the Church of England when the House of Bishops allowed the baptism liturgy to be used for those who are transitioning gender.

However, he denies his motives are a move against the transgender community.

“I haven’t got an issue with the transgender community but I have got an issue with the changes to the baptism liturgy,” he told Cornwall Live. “I would have just as much of an issue if baptism was being used to mark someone’s GCSEs as I would it being used to mark their gender.

“They are taking something Jesus gave us and using it for something else.”

So this “extremist” church acknowledges the clarity of the Sixth Commandment as well as the scientific certainties of the two genders? Outrageous!

“extremist” and “homophobic”.

In other words, “Christian”.

A General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is a qualification normally taken by most UK students at the end of compulsory education. It normally take two years and you take the final exams when you’re 16.

So in other words, he’s an actual Christian. Can’t have that in a church.

It is the beginning of a rainy week here, so I cannot spray the magic formula onto the alien 👽 invaders on the other side of the canyon. Instead, I will grab the machete and do hand to hand combat with the plants of Mordor that are killing trees over there.
