Swedish bishop wants to remove crosses from church and mark direction of Mecca to make it more invi

How wonderful and generous and ecumenical and multicultural this is. Watch for mosques everywhere to remove their mihrabs and install crosses so that Christians will feel comfortable praying there.

This is what a society and culture in the midst of suicide looks like.

Eva Brunne

“Bishop wants to remove Christian symbols in the Seamen’s Church,” translated from “Biskopen vill ta bort kristna symboler,” SVT.se, September 29, 2015:

Bishop Eva Brunne has proposed to remove the Christian symbols of the Seamen’s Church in Freeport to make it more inviting for visiting sailors from other religions.

The bishop wants to temporarily make the Seamen’s Church available to all, for example by marking the direction of Mecca and removing Christian symbols, as is already done in common prayer rooms at airports and in some hospital chapel.

“Making a room available for people of other faiths does not mean that we are not defenders of our own faith. Priests are called to proclaim Christ. We do that every day and in every meeting with people. But that does not mean that we are stingy toward people of other faiths,” writes Bishop Eva Brunne…

Has aroused protests

The proposal has triggered protests. Patrik Pettersson, priest of the Oscars parish in Stockholm, thinks that the proposal is noteworthy and writes on his blog:

“The church chapel can not reasonably be equated with prayer rooms at airports and hospital chapels anyway. The Christian churches and chapels are not public areas at any time.”

And Seamen’s Mission Director Kiki Wetterberg does not agree with the bishop.

“I have no problem with Muslim or Hindu sailors coming here and praying. But I believe that we are a Christian church, so we keep the symbols. If I visit a mosque, I do not ask them to take down their symbols. It’s my choice to go in there,” she says to the newspaper Dagen.

Idiot. She lies.

She doesn’t believe her culture is worth defending, or she would defend her culture.

No true christian wants to do this defamation to their own church.

No true christian wants to endorse and further heresy or unionism.

Drag her ass to Riyadh and throw her in the street with her head uncovered.

Let her participate in the savage filth she is encouraging.

these are the people that have to be dealt with in cwii. they will work to destroy your society/culture from within - mostly if you are white european. these same people have no problem with people like you and me dying by the hands of poor crimigrants. to them we deserve it.

Aww, look, the female preacher wants to remove any and all aspects of Christianity to defile the temple. Isn’t that special?

Great idea there, bishop — Kiss enough muslim butt and maybe they’ll kill you last.

So much wrong here, and I’m not even talking about what her name almost looks like and the name of her “church.”

Get ready everyone. The Pope and money feel good preachers are mainstreaming this insanity. Whoever is “of the truth” like our Lord Jesus will stand against this Chrislamic lie.

This liberalism of women is why they should not be priests.
