How wonderful and generous and ecumenical and multicultural this is. Watch for mosques everywhere to remove their mihrabs and install crosses so that Christians will feel comfortable praying there.
This is what a society and culture in the midst of suicide looks like.
“Bishop wants to remove Christian symbols in the Seamen’s Church,” translated from “Biskopen vill ta bort kristna symboler,” SVT.se, September 29, 2015:
Bishop Eva Brunne has proposed to remove the Christian symbols of the Seamen’s Church in Freeport to make it more inviting for visiting sailors from other religions.
The bishop wants to temporarily make the Seamen’s Church available to all, for example by marking the direction of Mecca and removing Christian symbols, as is already done in common prayer rooms at airports and in some hospital chapel.
“Making a room available for people of other faiths does not mean that we are not defenders of our own faith. Priests are called to proclaim Christ. We do that every day and in every meeting with people. But that does not mean that we are stingy toward people of other faiths,” writes Bishop Eva Brunne…
Has aroused protests
The proposal has triggered protests. Patrik Pettersson, priest of the Oscars parish in Stockholm, thinks that the proposal is noteworthy and writes on his blog:
“The church chapel can not reasonably be equated with prayer rooms at airports and hospital chapels anyway. The Christian churches and chapels are not public areas at any time.”
And Seamen’s Mission Director Kiki Wetterberg does not agree with the bishop.
“I have no problem with Muslim or Hindu sailors coming here and praying. But I believe that we are a Christian church, so we keep the symbols. If I visit a mosque, I do not ask them to take down their symbols. It’s my choice to go in there,” she says to the newspaper Dagen.
“Bishop Eva Brunne”
And now people know why women were not allowed to hold these posts in the past.
They deserve what is coming their way.
I think I've identified the problem.
Talk about BOHICA, man The European continent is finished.
They wish for suicide. Who will die for them?
Not anyone who has sense.
Revelation 3:14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
16 “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither kcold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
17 “Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—
18 “I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
19 “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
21 “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”

there is no church there ... now...anyway
Decadent
I’m soooooo sick of these dykes.
I have to agree. They put us down constantly...but call on us to defend them when attacked. Screw ‘em.
Hang that bitch
Eva Brunne? Seaman’s Church? Seriously?
The Bible is right. Women should not be the pastors of churches. I say this and I am a woman.
"There is nothing new under the sun"
Decades ago there was a book written about the United Methodist political machine titled "How to become Bishop without being religious".
Ain’t been there since the 40s,just a kid then....was fascinated by the church that was there since 1492 in fathers birthtown...My how wonderful has turned to hell on earth....
Surely, if one believes in the Resurrection, one should be willing to defend that truth.
‘Mine certainly were. They were not only honest but heroic. I asserted them fearlessly. When
the doctrine of the Resurrection ceased to commend itself to the critical faculties which God had
given me, I openly rejected it. I preached my famous sermon. I defied the whole chapter. I took
every risk.’
I was on an Emirates flight a couple of years ago. In each cabin, they have compasses with the direction to Mecca highlighted.
well, hte better majority of Euro's agree with her. or used to. Their eyes are opening, though far too late. But I started a blog about the war for Eurabia in 2004 as a warning to them. I'm tired of shouting from the rooftops.
Far as I'm concerned the old maxim is right. The burned hand teaches best.
Let em burn and learn.
A female cleric? Well, her idea is not surprising then.
