Edinburgh Church Votes to Split From the Scottish Episcopal Church in Early Sign of Schism at Decision to Support Gay Marriage
4th August 2018
St Thomas’ is the latest evangelical parish to quit the official Anglican church in Scotland and back a rival splinter movement in reaction to the vote supporting gay marriage in June last year.
A number of other churches have either left or are considering leaving in the wake of the decision to change the Scottish Episcopal Church’s (SEC) definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman.
The worldwide family descended from the Church of England is coming apart like a wet paper towel. It was inevitable that ‘Catholicism without the Pope’ would eventually degenerate; when you cut a plant off from its root, it eventually withers and dies, sometimes soon, sometimes later, but always eventually.
This was the chief structural weakness of the Protestant Reformation. Once people got the idea that the Roman Church was wrong in some things, and needed to have those things fixed, it became easier and easier to ‘fix’ other things that weren’t really ‘broken’ but didn’t comport with the individual predilections of the demagogues that always rise to the top in such situations. That rot is now metastasizing, and Protestant ‘Christianity’ is dissolving like a pile of sand in a rainstorm. Within my lifetime I expect to see all such ‘denominations’ reduced to Hip And Trendy costume parties that call themselves Christian(of the new and improved kind!) and provide a place for Social Justice Warriors to socialize on weekends but whose doctrines (if they have any) no Christian of the Church’s first thousand years would recognize.
Put your ear to the ground. That rumbling you hear is Satan laughing his ass off.
