perferably a fat one. :)
This bozo is about as relevant as the Queen.
LOL. Yup.
One has to laugh at this, given the presence of what CofE calls the "flying bishops" -- providing alternative oversight to parishes who won't accept their regular bishops who happen to be revisionists.
The price of not maintaining order -- and then trying to patch over the result.
Oh, they are deadly serious about this type of sin. They are also quite in favor of labeling personal preferences in matters of race or gender as a sin, as well as anything less than full throated approval of the radical homosexual agenda. And I'm sure anyone with a harsh word for the British Government's new "religious hatred" law is quite the sinner in their eyes too.
Sins like sucking innocent babies out of their mothers' wombs, now, or adultery, or blasphemy-- well, those are tired old Old Testament sins and they care not a whit for them.

I am a proud sinner and intend to increase my rate of sinning dramatically this summer. I will be a weekly sinner.
I am sorry to have to agree with you, and that is why my family are now Catholic rather than Episcopalian. I have come to realize that the Church of England was founded to raise divorce to the level of a sacrament.
They still have the loveliest liturgy, however (the 1928 Prayer Book.) I sure wish we had an Anglican Use parish in our diocese. I also pray for the demise of the mainstream Episcopal Church in America, and for the reconciliation of the traditional Continuing Anglican movement with Rome.

Although he doesn't look like he's up to the job of foretopman . . .
I always thought Christianity was about saving souls, not saving the earth. As I recall, heaven and earth shall pass away...
Silly me.
The good Bishop must have a "Fear of Flying." ;)
You should add "that we only occupy roughly 17% of"
That commandment must've been on the tablet that Moses left behind...
It's a sin to be an environmentalist, says the Bible.
I can't think of a single adverse impact to Christianity if the Anglican Church was grounded.
On the other hand if it was grounded any longer in the Bible then the Anglican prelate would most likely not be an Angilcan prelate, and would not have had his official soapbox from which to issue his inanities.
Ahhh, now I see the reason for lousy English food. It is a mortal sin to enjoy yourself. (also explains the warm beer)
Perhaps somebody should worry about "bearing false witness", as there is no man made "climate change"!
You got that right. Completely absurd.
Agreed! And what did the Bishop say on 9/11? "It's a sin to fly planes loaded with innocent people into buildings occupied by innocent people". Did he say ANYTHING like that? Didn't think so........
He never got the word that gluttony is a sin.
