Frew has written that at the URI Charter-signing meeting in June 2000, he was asked to perform a "traditional Wiccan foundation blessing" at the closing ceremony. Frew said, "I specifically invoked Hekate and Hermes by name, and Bishop Swing was right there raising his arms in invocation with the rest of the Circle!"

It seems there is enough madness out there to keep all christian freepers on their toes!

Must Read!!

Think of Assisi, and multiply it by a factor of ten.

The "one-world religion" is a New World Order plot, pure and simple!!!! It's just an extension of the anti-Serbian/anti-Orthodox Christian wars and propaganda begun under clinton in the 1990s. "First they get the Orthodox, then they get the Protestants, and finally they get the Catholics". Of course, while they're working most intensely on the Orthodox, they start gnawing away on the other two as well.

While they are making their one-world, essentially pagan pseudo-religion aimed at destroying Christianity (and at any independent religious, political, or cultural centers of power that can oppose the NWO), what will REALLY move to take over the world is militant islam. A "nice" prospect, isn't it?

As for me, I will remain Christian, despite all the ways in which my corner of Christianity is being eaten away right now. But Christ has promised that "the gates of Hell will not prevail" against his people!!!!

I suppose these people would call for all us deranged orthodox folk to be compelled to burn incense to the spirit of 'unity' (makes me think of the diabolic 'unity' that C.S. Lewis spoke of!), or be dragged off for 'treatment' in the ward, or perhaps some 'humane' (humane in the same way abortion is humane) corrective labour.

THE URI'S DESIRE, as stated in its Charter -- to "manifest love and justice among all life in our Earth community" -- does not extend to the lives of the unborn. Bishop Swing has likened "the insane expansion of population" to exponential growth of algae in a lake. In 2000, two high-level URI executives - Canon Charles Gibbs, URI Executive Director, and the Rev. William Rankin, an Episcopal cleric who was then the URI Vice-President - signed a manifesto issued early that year by the Sexual Information and Education Council of the US (SIECUS). This "Religious Declaration on Sexual Morality, Justice, and Healing" opposed "unsustainable population growth" and favored "blessing...same-sex unions," the ordination of women, artificial contraception, abortion, and "lifelong, age appropriate sexuality education in schools, seminaries, and community settings."

THAT is laughably absurd. Apparently, they are rather woefully unfamiliar with current research on population trends within Western civilization. Just about ALL of the major countries will be unable to take care of the elderly because of a failure to reproduce in adequate numbers. Foreign populations will have to be imported just to sustain social and economic stability. What utter morons!!! A truly amazing display of sheer stupidity. Thr irony of course is that Anglicans and Episcopalians have been exterminating themselves in one of the most absurd cases of self-genocide in human history.

Thanks for keeping this post here NYer. In researching background information on a website called URI for Kid-it was supposed to be used as a resource for homework-I discovered the Charter to be more of a religious oath that is to be recited repetitively pledging environmental protection, peace and justice and women’s rights gobbly-goop. The site is here:http://www.uri.org/kids/index.htm
