Church changes Christmas carol lyrics to recognize 'queer and questioning'
Workd Net Daily ^ | 22 December A.D. 2022 | WND Staff

A church in the United Kingdom has decided to take Jesus and the Nativity out of Christmas, instead promoting a message for the "queer and questioning."

Summit News explains it is All Saints with Holy Trinity Church in Loughborough and it held a service Monday.

It was in a social media statement that trainee priest Rachael Brind-Surch boasted of alterations made to the traditional "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."

"Flipping love my church," claimed Brind-Surch, as the first verse of the hymn was revealed to be:

"God rest you, queer and questioning, your anxious hearts be still, Believe that you are deeply known and part of God's good will For all to live as one in peace the global dream fulfilled. O tidings of comfort and joy…"

Other changes were posted online:

Another revision:

"God rest you also, women, who by men have been erased, Through history ignored and scorned, defiled and displaced; Remember that your stories too, are held within God’s grace."

Like Bea Arthur used to say as “Maude”:

“God’ll get you for that...”

Might as well wear a Tee shirt proclaiming that you have been turned over to a depraved mind as sing that garbage.

Sodom and Gomorrah will rise up and accuse them on judgement day.

Churches in England are erasing references to the nativity and Jesus, replacing them with “queer” characters instead.

England is circling the bowl. Giving itself away to muzzlime invaders, shredding its moral values to kiss the behind of perverts—the brave men and women who stood up to defend their country against the Nazis must be spinning in their graves.

At least they didn’t have to change “Don we now our gay apparel”

Maybe they can add “Fairytale of New York” by the Pogues to their list of carols.

Well, let’s not be judgmental. Maybe the sheep consented its relationship with the two men. It’s not like there was a camel involved.

Breathtaking brazen sinful blasphemy.

Homoglobo is a Satanic belief system seeking to destroy Christianity and free societies.

Which of those two men gave birth to the infant — and from what orifice did the infant emerge?
