I’m guessing they will substitute with the word “evil” or “sin”?
Great detail.
Thank you, Salvation.
AMEN!!!!
Faith by test-marketing. Sounds like a winner!
Doubtful. According to those in the "test market", respondents were offended to be addressed as sinners. Perhaps they will substitute "misunderstood" or "misconstrued". Perhaps they will drop it entirely.
I’m thinking they may do what you offered in the second part — drop it altogether.
Anglicans getting rid reference to satan in baptism is because satan always controls the Anglican Church. They sold their soul to satan when they sold out to the sodomites. Satan is smiling.
Of course it started with Henry VIII. He started the Church of England.
Initially prompted by a dispute over the annulment of the marriage of King Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon, the Church of England separated from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 and became the established church by an Act of Parliament in the Act of Supremacy, beginning a series of events known as the English Reformation. During the reign of Queen Mary I and King Philip, the church was fully restored under Rome in 1555. The pope’s authority was again explicitly rejected after the accession of Queen Elizabeth I when the Act of Supremacy of 1558 was passed.
So as simplistic as can be said, since it simply a fact, Henry VIII started the Anglican Church of England when it broke from the Church of Rome.
For the next several decades a bloody struggle took place within the Kingdom until Elizabeth put an end to it with the 1558 Elizabethan Settlement, which developed the understanding that the church was to be both Catholic and Reformed:
So He started it. Simple and true!
The Anglicans will change the question.
Priest: Do you renounce racism, sexism, and homophobia?
Read your own selection...the Roman church was reinstated after his death.
So what. He started the Church. The fact that it was suspended doesn’t change the fact that he started it.
The best trick Satan ever pulled off was to convince gullible Christians (and Anglicans in particular) that he does not exist. The Church of England has gone over to the Dark Side and their actions prove it.
Exactly.
Yes, I forgot it said that.
lol
