P.S. I see that the original statement was not by Williams, but by the Bp. of London. Williams got his licks in by mentioning self-control vis a vis sex. I don't know much about London these days... but I feel certain that whatever the man is like, it is a huge step down from the days of Graham Leonard.

Wow, replying to a comment about English and warm beer you feel the need to tell the world ...

"Granted I don't read everything in this forum, but the Catholics seem to be the worst haters I see in virulence, numbers and ignorance."

... speaking of hateful ignorant "virulence" and stereotyping, sheesh!

Anti-prejudice 101: Don't paint a whole group based on a actions of a few members.

"Making selfish choices such as flying on holiday or buying a large car are a symptom of sin."

I don't own an SUV, my wife does. It's seared, I tell you seared, in my mind that my wife owns that nasty SUV. I swam to Davos just to be eco-friendly. Don't look behind that curtain!!

So the Church of England is joining forces with those pagan Gaia worshipers...

They're reverting back to Druidism.

I'd like to know the Biblical exegesis of this new "green" religion.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

The Bible says that God will send " Strong Delusions " that they ( the ungodly or the non - elect ) will believe the lie.
If people don't want to be deceived by the world and the anti-Christ, then look and hold onto the word of God ( the Bible ).

"And God said unto Moses, 'Thy people are ailing. Take these two tablets and call me in the morning.'"

[Cronos]

Ah, the CoE.... so completely irrelevant to anything, more like a queens club.... any bets that by 2020, there will be no more CoE?

[Porterville]

Is this they church of Our Lady of Lesbos?

[facedown]

No wonder we came over here.

LOL!

[Cronos]

Let's see, to the Anglican hierarchy, it's not a sin to disobey the bible (men should not sleep together as a man and woman) but flying is a sin?

[Cronos]

he looks stoned

Guess what? You'll find that "North America, Canada and Britain," for all they grab headlines in... "North America, Canada and Britain"... are a really small element, collectively a single-digit participant.

true. However, the problem here is with the Anglican Mother church -- the CoE is uincreasingly not Christian anymore and the ECUSA is definitely NOT. The Nigerian Church should break from the Anglican communion and be a Church in it's own rite -- the true Christians who reluctantly belong to the Anglican communion in NA and WE can join that. It would be good if they all joined as a new rite in the Catholic or Orthodox groups of churchs.

No wonder religion is dead in Europe.
