A druid church.
The Anglican/Episcopalian church has been a pagan church for so long that it’s amazing they even thought they had to make any changes. Well, maybe making it “Christianity Centered” (whatever that means) would be a change.
I'm told that the particular church where he was "baptized" is conservative and doesn't buy all the "progressive" garbage as seen by the "related" articles at the end of this article, (check them out FReepers) but the tiny church is shrinking fast.
Now I see why his mother has been telling us she's thinking about switching to the catholic church.
Of course Mrs. Wasp and I are White Anglo-Saxon Protestants from which we get our WASPish screen name. We are really torn up about this as we are totally taken by this beautiful child of God!!!
Something more to pray fervently about!!!
As part of its drive to retain congregation numbers...1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
The Abomination of Desolation isn’t far away. I’m convinced that this generation will see it.

Considering that Archbishop Justin had this to say about “gay marriage, the Church of England has its foot pressed firmly to the metal. Full speed ahead!
“It is clearly essential that stable and faithful same sex relationships should, where those involved want it, be recognised and supported with as much dignity and the same legal effect as marriage. Although the majority of Bishops who voted during the whole passage of the Civil Partnerships Act through your Lordships’ House were in favour of civil partnerships a few years ago, it is also absolutely true that the church has often not served the LGBT communities in the way it should. I must express my sadness and sorrow for that considerable failure. There have been notable exceptions, such as my predecessor Archbishop Ramsey who vigorously supported decriminalisation in the 1960s.
It is also necessary to express, as has been done already, total rejection of homophobic language, which is wrong; and more than that, sickening.”
Fortunately for Christianity, the real Anglican church is centered in Africa, and with the retirement of that British quality lunatic Desmond Tutu, the rest of the Anglican clergy in Africa are both conservative and orderly.
Sooner, rather than later, there will be a clean schism between the sane Anglicans and the utterly bonkers churches in the UK and North America, who have sort of given up on the whole “religion thing”, and doing the slow descent into madness.
What part of Scripture would support or cause to be interpreted the Church, the one Holy, catholic and apostolic Church as “a pagan church” where “Christianity would be very much in the center”. What sheer utter desperation, empty of belief and the beauty of Redemption and Resurrection.
Paganism: “historical polytheistic and non-theistic religious traditions”
Deo Vindice.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. John 14:6
Follow? They’re long gone. Essentially another denomination from what they once were.
I remember a ceremony in CA a couple of years ago when the Episcopal “Church” ordained two dykes. They had a pagan Native American spiritism ritual performed on stage for the occasion, mixed with a hodge podge of other earth worship crap. It was shocking beyond belief.
