CONSERVATIVE ANGLICANS POST PROTEST LETTER AGAINST PRO LGBT CHURCH TO CATHEDRAL DOORS

The Spirit of the Reformation is alive and well in certain corners of
the world. One wouldn’t necessarily assume that Reformation Spirit is
alive in the corner of the world known as Anglicanism, but apparently
the fires haven’t completely blown out. An Anglican clergy member, who
at first remained anonymous, has come out as the culprit who posted the
protest letter against LGBT inclusion to five cathedral doors.

Pulpit & Pen posted a video
of JD Hall nailing the Second London Baptist Confession (1689) to the
Cathedral of Saint Helena, and encouraged people to join in the practice
during the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. This was received with
much wailing and gnashing of teeth, accompanied by accusations of
vandalism. Thankfully, many have taken up the protest and continued to
send the not-so-subtle message that Protestants are still doing what
Protestants do. Reverend Stephen Rae, the vicar of St. James Church, has
received major media attention for posting his own protest letters.

His letter reads, “This building that stands sentinel over the
Church of England has been a symbol of Anglican leadership with,
perhaps, the greatest global reach for centuries. Now it has become
synonymous with abdication and dereliction of duty; it stands accused as
a distracted and negligent parent that has abandoned its children…We
are not merely to assert biblical truth. We who have been entrusted with
the precious gospel that speaks life into the hearts of wretched
sinners are also called to drive away anything that would lead the flock
away and into judgment.”

The Anglican church has repeatedly affirmed the LGBTQXYZLMNOP
movement, with one church – which thankfully received a protest letter –
recently having an “LGBTQ+ Eucharist Service,” as seen below.

rainbow-colored flag, upon which was placed the Elements representing
the Body and Blood of Jesus.
