Cherry Vann becomes first woman and LGBTQ cleric named archbishop in Britain

LONDON — Bishop Cherry Vann has been elected as archbishop of the Church in Wales, becoming the first woman and LGBTQ cleric appointed to lead any of Britain’s Anglican churches.

While the broader, international Anglican Communion has had openly gay bishops before, most notably Gene Robinson in the United States, Vann will be the first lesbian to serve as archbishop globally.

The Church in Wales, which broke away from the Church of England in 1920, elected Vann to the post on Wednesday.

According to her official biography, Vann lives with her civil partner, Wendy, and the couple’s two dogs. While the Church in Wales does not conduct same-sex marriages, it permits clergy to enter into civil partnerships.

Vann will replace Andrew John, who resigned in June following the publication of two internal church reports in May which raised concerns about governance and safeguarding. There was no suggestion of any wrongdoing by John.

What exactly is a LGBTQ? If she is gay say she is gay. If she is a lesbian then say so. There are 5 different letters in LGBTQ and they don’t all mean the same thing. Bisexual people most of the time don’t go around saying they are bisexual. The B is silent. There is no bisexual pride month. They don’t have bisexual parades. I think most of them would prefer not to talk about it. Q is an ill-defined group. Probably it has no members except people who want LGBTQ attention without being any of LGBT. T is the most different group in that they are exhibiting the appearance of the opposite sex. Most T are men who are trying to attract other men by dressing up as sluts. You never see men dressed as Tootsie or Mrs. Doubtfire. Those guys would never win a drag queen beauty contest.

Just wait until they go Muslim in a few years.

In good King Charles' golden days when loyalty no harm meant
A pious man of God was I and so I gained preferment.
There is no god but God quoth I, Muhammad is His prophet.
The infidel sign upon the flag shall soon be taken off it.

And people ask me why I don’t attend church. I gave up on church 30 years ago. I saw Satan had infiltrated it then. Now it is so obvious.

Yet. Perversion is a bottomless spiral.

Is she too far gone? Could be.

If she chooses not to repent....

2nd Thessalonians 2
King James Version

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the Day of Christ is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that Day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the Son of Perdition;

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

7 For the Mystery of Iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the Brightness of His Coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be Saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them Strong Delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth:

14 Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to the obtaining of the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through Grace,

17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

And for the thread


2nd Peter 2:6-9
King James Version

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample
(example) unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with
the filthy conversation of the Wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them,
in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul
from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly
out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust
unto the Day of Judgment to be punished:

Listening to Matt Walsh the other day, he discussed the penchant today to appoint women over men in multiple high positions of technical and administrative difficulty. He pointed out that it was completely illogical, and all of these appointments are purely woke dictates to appease the leftist dogma.

It is no different in this “church.” You can’t tell me that they couldn’t find a qualified man to fill that Arch Bishop’s seat every bit as well, or far better than, this woman. It’s purely a box-checking move to appoint a woman. And a lesbian checks yet another meaningless box.

They can have their fun now. Things will change once the Muslims take over.

“Gay” is a perfectly good word hijacked by homosexuals and their supporters. I refuse to use it in reference to them or their practices. What we truly have here is an abominable perversion called homosexuality. Unfortunately we’ve been indoctrinated over the decades to accept their world view and language.

There are good Bible-based churches out there. Ask God to help you find one and he will! You may have to make several visits. But keep looking and asking around. Good churches are out there. And when you find one you won’t regret it!

Abba Father, we ask today that the church home you have for packrat35 is brought to light soon, for blessings of Your Word, Truth, knowledge and fellowship in accordance with Your plan. We ask in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
