Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the head of the Church of England, promised LGBT activists that he would “take action” against clergy and lay members of the church’s General Synod who condemn homosexual activity.
The leader of Christian Concern, a group representing a General Synod member whom Welby has threatened to remove, condemned the remarks as “giving a green light for a witch hunt of any Church of England clergy who believe in the traditional view that marriage is between one man and one woman for life.”
Welby responded to an LGBT activist who mischaracterized a quote from an African Anglican bishop, pledging to launch a “disciplinary process” against clergy and lay leaders who utter similar words.
“Here’s a promise: you send me details of a church that is saying something like that and I will ensure that there is a disciplinary process against the clergy who said that,” the archbishop promised. “We’ll root ‘em out! We’ll root them out. Send me the details with that bit of paper and their names at the bottom of it, and I will take action.”
He promised to take action against members of the General Synod, as well as members of the clergy. (An elected body, the General Synod considers and approves legislation affecting the Church of England when it comes to worship and the annual budget.)
Welby was responding to Peter Tatchell, who protested at Lambeth Palace on Jan. 23, holding a sign reading “Church ban on LGBT marriage is homophobic discrimination. SHAME!” Tatchell and other protesters faulted Welby for refusing to personally bless same-sex couples. The Church of England does not endorse same-sex marriage, but it recently approved prayers of blessing for same-sex couples, a move that faced harsh criticism from other corners of the global Anglican Communion

We should not marvel that those displaying fruit of having been turned over the depraved minds seem incapable of realizing it.
Those people are Christians. Those that haven’t already left will be hunted down by the Satanists now.
The Sovereign is the head of the Church of England. This is going on with the blessing of King Charles. Never would have happened under Queen Elizabeth.
The END is nearer all the time!
Sounds just like his traveling companion, Bergoglio, who wants to 'root out' faithful Catholics from his Frankenchurch.
He LOVES Islam.
How about God? Will he "take action" against God, who condemns sodomy?
Has he said how he’ll try to edit or rewrite the Bible on these issues?
Satan has taken over much of the churches now.
So the church is only for fags is what the arch bishop is saying.
What will be the next “old fashioned” sin to be declared good and Holy to God? Some churches already accept the “harmlessness” of fornication (pre-marital sex) since it is so rampant. So, will the next be pedophilia?
Those would be “people” that ACTUALLY believe what Jesus said and told us, THEY GOTTA GO!

The Episcopal Church in America is well endowed with their vast real estate holdings, both in New York city and throughout the country. Because of this they are not overly concerned with the laity’s view of homosexuality. We could all go away and they’d continue with their woke agenda.
As to our parent church in the UK - I don’t know, but because they are the state church they may similarly inclined.
I follow Fr. Calvin Robinson on social media. He has put up a good fight and left CofE. Was ordained in the independent Anglican denomination.
He has stuff on YT. Really admire him. Very outspoken and a gentle soul.
The “church” of England… made up by a King because the real church didn’t support him. Like so much in t(e world today, total BS.
Sounds like they’ve gone what I call “Nine Suggestions” Christianity.
Good point. This happened right after the change of monarchs. Maybe Elizabeth II wouldn’t go along with it.
Some of that land, including blocks of Manhattan office buildings is from royal land grants from when it was the established Church.
