Honestly, the guy looks like he hasn’t had a proper bowel-movement in a month.

And...it isn’t human greed that’ll destroy the earth, although that is part of it. It’s SIN. The only thing that’ll save you from sin is Jesus.

I wonder when the last time he preached about the Name or the Blood of Christ...if ever?

Archbishop of Canterbury warns greed could wreck the Earth (Environmental Christmas Sermon)

No kidding! The human environment is primarily that created by humans, secondarily the geological environment. Most of human efforts go toward mitigating the bad effects on human acitivty of the unpredictable, often inclement, physical environment. As humans we live primarily in a manmade world. Our economies and our inventions are our environment. And our governments either protect (Constitutionalism) or prey upon (socialism) that environment.

The true environmental damage that threatens mankind comes from the greed of the politicians and green bureaucrats to control ALL of that primary human environment and make it into what they alone believe it should be.

They deserve as much love as pests that consume our crops or terrorists who attack our social/political environment. And they deserve the same fate.

Williams has apparently been taking counsel and advice from former New Jersey Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong. Spong’s schtick was that the Nativity story and Christianity as a whole must be demythologized and replaced with secular humanist dogma. With crackpots like Williams and Spong leading the worldwide Anglican movement, is there any wonder that the church is but a shadow of what it was just 40 years ago, or that what remains is now splintering?

Anglicanism is growing and strongest in Africa, where church leaders can’t afford to sell their souls to the gods of relativism, secularism, and collectivism. Rather than pointing fingers at the “greedy,” perhaps Williams should examine himself and ask why he has found it necessary take up a fifth column through the Faith of our fathers.

This is another example of why the liberal, apostate denominations are hemorrhaging members like crazy. Or why, in countries like Britain where there are few non-State church alternatives, many simply leave forever.

His Church is disintegrating before everyone’s eyes, and all he can think of to give a sermon on for Christmas is freaking global warming.

What a putz.

All those families in China and India who want to give their kids a better life are evil and greedy people, right?

What kind of religion is this?

:-(

The old C of E is off the rails. I can’t even recognize it as Christian any longer. It’s some kind of pagan “new age” nonsense with a lot of trendy far-left Labour Party dogma thrown in.

Is this the same dipshit who last week said the Nativity and Three Kings were all “myths”?
