Jeremiah 44:19 The women added, "When we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did not our husbands know that we were making cakes like her image and pouring out drink offerings to her?"
Hosea 3:1 The LORD said to me, "Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress. Love her as the LORD loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes."
FYI
It was things like what is described in the article that contributed to my departure from the Episcopal church and becoming Catholic. Not that there aren't problems in the Catholic Church, there are. But at least there isn't official sanction for this type of stuff by having it at an official web site, either.
SHOCK AND HORROR BEYOND WORDS!!!
This is utterly Satanic. That it could happen at all is almost beyond belief, yet in a wierd way, it doesn't surprise me. This is nothing less than repaganization. Thanks for including the actual references on the "raisin cakes." As soon as I read that part, my hair absolutely stood on end.
One question: What exactly is the nature of the source of this posting? It is being recommended "officially" in some way?
Cling to the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Judgement is upon us.
I believe it is the official website of the church. The article is in the "Women's ministry" section of
http://www.episcopalchurch.org/
The Info Desk
The Episcopal Church, USA
Member of the Anglican Communion
815 Second Avenue New York, NY 10017
This is on their info desk page. If the ECUSA is stationed in NY, NY, then this is the official website.
Try Orthodoxy....no problems. I am a convert from the ECUSA as well...........
After reading this, I thank God that I am Catholic!
OK I found it. It is part of the "Women's Ministries" Page of the ECUSA National Church Org Website.
Which, BTW, is decorated with read and orange flames. A snapshot of their living room, perhaps, in hell?
I can hardly get my breath.
Okay, the way you get to the article is go to
episcopalchurch.org
SEEKERS
JUMP TO Women's Ministries website
From this point, it is hard to find.
Okay, figured out where you go from there. Do Resources, Worship Resources, and A Women's Eucharist is listed right there.
The morons haven't even noticed they're still in the kitchen. Woops. Think globally, act in the kitchen?
Feminist issues are the least of their troubles.
Thanks, I found it.
I am barely able to get my breath.
This is utterly the worst thing I have ever seen coming from 815 Second Ave NY -- and I have seen a LOT of horrors in my time.
I hope the African Anglican leaders meeting right now know how bad this is. ECUSA should -- must -- be expelled from any Christian body immediately with no more fooling around.
I can hardly breathe.
I thought the very same thing. I just faxed this to the New Oxford Review, which started out as an Episcopal publication. I bet they'll get a kick out of this.
Keep your eyes on Christ, Lumen Christie. Not on man. Obviously, Satan is working his way through several (in fact in some degree all) denominations. That's why it is about relationship, not religion.
We had a group here announce a "Mary Magdalene Day Liturgy" at the campus Catholic church. It's dominated by a bunch of elderly wacko nuns who have moved here recently, combined with the ever-heretical campus chaplain.
My sister wrote to the bishop, including newspaper articles about the participants, "We Are Church" and the other "feminist" group whose name escapes me right now, which have already been banned in other dioceses. We were delighted: the bishop wrote to her and told her he had contacted the pastor about the "Liturgy," and then sent out a letter to all the priests in the diocese telling them that these organizations and their representatives were not to be permitted to use church property in any way.
So it's not officially sanctioned in the Catholic Church, but sometimes you do have to remind them...
The first part is right, but Christ founded one Church, and only one has existed since then.
Well, this 'eucharist' service is not new. It is very similar to what was given in 1993 at a "Re-Imaging" Conference of feminist Episcopalians, Methodists and Presbyterians. Another lovely thing that came out during that conference was the quote:
We dont need guys hanging on crosses with blood dripping and all that weird stuff.
The main difference today is that was a fringe group of liberal feminist apostates. This appears to have official church sanction.
Hey, that's very good - actual Scriptural condemnations of the very practices the Episcopal Church is embracing. I'd like to see some Church leaders put on the spot and forced to answer why they are embracing Political Correctness to such a degree. Certainly no one should give this denomination another dime until they start cleaning up their act.
