yep, that’s the goal. more butts in the pews.
Notice they don’t even consider the possibility that it will cause their numbers to fall even faster.
Gee....I wonder why? [/s]
It’s all about the Benjamin’s.
The path to destruction is also popular, and well-trodden.
Why not accept people of other religions? After all, the bottom line.. ya know.
And non-denominational means they will take money from anyone.
I recall a few years ago reading an article that discussed how churches in parts of Europe were enjoying sudden increases in numbers because recent migrants (many from the Middle East) saw Christianity as a religion of freedom and an escape from what they lived under previously. Maybe the Church of England is not resonating in the same manner.
I thought the C of E was already there.
Same-sex marriage doesn’t create children. It won’t put butts in the pews.
Even if this worked I’d be against it
But this drives people away even faster.
Not much connection between Faith in the inerrant Word of God and most churches.
The typical church today is worldly and subscribes to the worldly wisdom of go along to get along.
Or you could just preach Christ and let the chips fall where they fall. But then you wouldn’t be Church of England.
I’m not sure when C of E stopped being Christian but it’s been several decades now. I can’t imagine there are any Christians left in that church.
Well any church making that argument pretty much confirms that church isn’t about God but about money.
“Church [of England] Urged to Allow Same Sex Marriage to Boost Falling Congregation Numbers”
Countries built architecturally magnificent churches all over the world and now that many people have turned their backs on Christianity some churches seem willing to let any one in no matter what their beliefs as long as they support them financially.
Same sex to boost membership! Does nothing for procreation dummies! Also sounds like boosted membership for hell.
Their increasing wokeness is already why the congregations have been falling - pursuing more of the same will not achieve a better result. They believe a congregation will be blessed by straying further and further from the Word and obedience to the same?
The Christian Church in the West is in severe crisis. If they don’t do something about it, well the church will cease to exist in a generation or two.
ood isnt it?
They certainly have done no favors
and apparently after all these years
have not celebrated nor encouraged
ordinary families and stability
thereof.
Now they want to seat loonies and
no disrespect toward Canadians.
It says to me the “ church” worldwide
has been infected by liberal theologies
much longer than I thought.
Sure, that’ll please God.
smh
