Former Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth Warns of Assault on Christianity Under King Charles
Chritianity Daily ^ | 1/4/23 | AJ Paz

Posted on 01/06/2023 6:22:57 PM PST by marshmallow

The former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II has voiced concerns about King Charles III's support for multifaith and multiculturalism, suggesting that these ideologies could threaten the stability and continuity of the British monarchy. The chaplain believes Christianity is under attack and calls on Christians to unite and defend their faith.

Gavin Ashenden, the former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, has expressed concern about the direction the monarchy is heading under King Charles III. In an interview with GB News following the king's first Christmas speech, Ashenden warned that the monarchy could be in danger if it continues to move towards multifaith and multiculturalism. He believes that these ideologies could lead the monarchy to lose its authenticity and identity.

'You're either a defender of the faith, or you're not.'

King Charles Accused of Allowing Attacks on Christianity to Go Unchecked

King Charles III assumed the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8th. Gavin Ashenden, the former chaplain to the late queen, has expressed concern about the monarchy's future under Charles' leadership. In an article in CBN News, Ashenden likened the situation to a ship that has been "hulled beneath the waterline slowly sink[ing]."

He believes that the monarchy will not be able to survive if it becomes multifaith and multicultural, as this would represent a departure from its Christian roots and the oath that each British monarch must publicly give to defend the Protestant Reformed Religion. Ashenden stated that the monarchy has been slowly shifting from being a Christian monarchy towards a multifaith one and argued that one must either be a defender of the faith or not.

I think it’s fair to say that QE2 was possibly Britain’s last Christian monarch. Not to say that Chuck and Wills aren’t nominal Christians. They are, but do they have any greater interest in the Christian faith than in, say, Buddhism or Hinduism? I doubt it.

To think that this proven adulterer is the defender of the faith. Absurd.

I heard some of Chuck’s speech. What a load of airy-fairy bafflegab.

I saw the King’s Christmas speech and it’s sooo obvious that he’s not a Christian. He kept referring to his “mother’s faith” and some nonsense about embracing the light.

Is there any reason not to assume this dim wit has made common cause with the dirty mullas and consorted with their young.

England isn’t a Christian nation anymore. Enjoy circling the toilet, mates. You brought this on yourselves.

Before she passed away in 2022, Queen Elizabeth II wrote in preparation for her memorial ceremonies and final burial:

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”

Charles III could be part of a much larger confluence of events which could see the UK disappear.

Queen Elizabeth also allowed Christianity to be assaulted.

She said nothing as Britain became ever more multiracial, multi-religious, and multicultural.

She said nothing as Britain's history and heritage was increasingly defamed as racist and bigoted.

King Charles's reign only appears more woke than Elizabeth's because the decline is further along.

(Charles III could be part of a much larger confluence of events which could see the UK disappear.)

I believe the little horn (Satan’s anti-messiah) will subdue 3 nations.

Two of those being Great Britain and Russia. So yes, I expect the U.K. to essentially become part of something else.

IMHO all nations will be subject to the world government of Daniel 7:23.

Yeah that’s wild stuff I’ll admit. Keep watching what happens in our world.

...........

Sadly, neither is the USA. What we’re seeing in Europe now will rise here as well, just like open borders.
