Looters: Them or us?

“I spoke on the phone yesterday with a south London vicar whose parish had been hit by rioters. Actually, “rioters” is not quite the word. The disorders straight after the death of Mark Duggan may have been riots with the associations of protest that brings, but by now a better word than rioters is looters, because the focus seems so strongly on violent theft. …”

– Principal of Oak Hill College in London, Mike Ovey, has some very perceptive comments about this week’s trouble in England.

‘Evangelicals and the gay moral revolution’

Filed under Opinion Comments Off on ‘Evangelicals and the gay moral revolution’

“Our greatest fear is not that homosexuality will be normalized and accepted, but that homosexuals will not come to know of their own need for Christ and the forgiveness of their sins.

This is not a concern that is easily expressed in sound bites. But it is what we truly believe.

It is now abundantly clear that evangelicals have failed in so many ways to meet this challenge. …”

“The murders, beatings and state-sanctioned violence suffered by Anglicans in Harare under the Mugabe regime are akin to the discomforts faced by Episcopalians loyal to the national Church who reside in dioceses that have departed for the Anglican Church in North America.

This summary of the situation in Harare from Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori came in an August 2 report released by the Episcopal News Service…”
