England Take 4 - 0 Lead In ODI Serie

Not as spectacular last night but still a good win.

Poles Apart?

Mateusz Morawiecki (pictured) said Poland's growing economy and low levels of unemployment will also help persuade a quarter of his countrymen in Britain to return. Mail.
Interestingly, MITK has picked up information from his Polish contacts that there are major EU campaigns in Poland and other EU nations to warn voters that the UK's economy is going to crash post-Brexit. As always, with the 'law of unintended consequences' applied, this has meant that a great many would-be migrants have believed the propaganda and are now targeting Germany et al

Asylum - The Facts!

SIR – Under international law and the Dublin Convention, those applying for asylum should do so in the first safe country that they enter.
Where it is evident that someone has managed to evade security in France and enter Britain illegally, that person should be returned for their asylum claims to be dealt with there – just as the French have done on the Italian border.

BUT, clearly such people can no longer be classed as refugees but must be recategorised as 'economic migrants'.

Faux Outrage Ridiculed By Littlejohn.

Eva Price, a character in Coronation Street, studies her hair in a mirror and remarks: ‘I’ve got more roots than Kunta Kinte. No idea who that is, by the way, just something my mum used to say.’
Cue deranged outbreak of faux outrage, a grovelling apology from Corrie’s producers and a potential ‘racism’ investigation by the broadcast watchdog Ofcom.
If you ever doubted that the world has gone rip-roaring bonkers, here is more conclusive evidence.

Mighty ODI Win On Tuesday.

Records tumbled as England took an unassailable 3 - 0 lead in the 5 match series!

CofE Schism Beckons.




http://www.christianconcern.com/print/our-concerns/same-sex-marriage/church-of-england-parishes-prepare-for-a-possible-schism
Several parishes are preparing for the beginnings of what could be a formal split from the Church of England (CofE), over growing concerns about the diluting of its teaching on marriage and other issues.
A number of CofE members who identify as Evangelicals within the Anglican body say they are setting up "embryonic" structures, that could be used were a split to take place.
Representatives from a dozen congregations, from the Dioceses of Canterbury, Rochester and Chichester, are to meet later this week in Tunbridge Wells for discussions.
 

Watering down biblical teaching

The new group believes that the leadership in the Church of England is "watering down" biblical teaching on issues such as the area of sexuality as well as the authority of the Bible.
Members say that they would not rule out a schism in the event of bishops offering ‘blessing’-style services for same-sex couples. This is likely to be discussed in Synod in the coming months.
Disagreements over marriage and sexuality have already caused separations within the Anglican Communion, including formal splits with the US and Canadian churches due to the ordination of clergy in openly same-sex relationships.
 

'New Anglican jurisdiction'

The Rev Dr Peter Sanlon, Vicar of St Mark’s Church in Tunbridge Wells, who is hosting this week’s meeting, said: "If senior leaders of the Church of England water down the teaching of the Church of England on key issues like homosexuality, then this synod could easily evolve in to a new Anglican jurisdiction in England.
"The Archbishop of Canterbury has signalled that he is aware of the possibility that a significant proportion of the church will not accept a change in the church’s teaching.
"This could be the beginning of that playing out."
 

Safeguarding church integrity

The Rev Canon Dr Gavin Ashenden, a royal chaplain, said: "The energy behind this new jurisdiction comes from a growing perception that the CofE is so desperate to remain chaplain to a country that is turning its back on Christian ethics, that there comes a point when it fails to be faithful to Christ and in particular his teaching on marriage.
"At that point, and it may already have arrived, there will be a rupture and the orthodox will make arrangements to safeguard the integrity of the Church for the future."
 

GAFCON ‘warmly commends’ initiative

The Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), a group of Anglican members who are committed to upholding biblical teaching, has sent a statement to say that it "warmly commends" the initiative.
It said:
"This is a grass-roots initiative by local congregations which is representative of the views of many across the country, and is in line with the concerns of Anglicans from the GAFCON movement worldwide as expressed in the Jerusalem Declaration of 2008 and subsequently.
"The message being clearly conveyed is that: there are Church of England churches that hold to the unchanging truths of the gospel and the formularies of the Church of England; these churches oppose the relentless slide towards revisionism in the Church of England structures; these churches are prepared to take action to protect their congregations."
 

Justin Welby asked about same-sex 'blessings'

Over the weekend, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby was asked if or when the church would allow ‘blessing’ services for same-sex civil partnerships.
He replied: "I don’t have a good answer to it".
"If we were the only Church here and [there were] no other Churches, and if division didn't matter it would be much easier to answer", he added.
"Do I know when there will be a point when the blessing [of the civil partnership] will happen? No. I don't and I can't see the road ahead".

Well - it makes me smile! The Tories are also planning to make constituency boundary changes which, under the grossly unjust FPTP voting system we enjoy, will cancel out the massive advantages Labour have capitalised on for decades.

Lahore Heartbreak.Not Forgotten - Four Months On.

saleem
Family members grieve the death of Miriam and her sister.
Imagine having to bury two of your children in the space of a month. That’s exactly what a Christian in Lahore has had to do as a result of the bomb blast at Easter.
Saleem’s daughter Annie died from injuries suffered in the attack and a funeral was held for her sister, Miriam, who died in hospital.
Our contact was able to visit the family’s home and pray, and weep, with them but the reality is they were inconsolable. He said: ‘It was really hard to see Saleem in so much pain. He was crying out and saying “Why has God taken my second daughter away? Why, O God, have you allowed this to happen?” I don’t know how he will recover from this tragedy. Only God can mend this broken heart.’
He adds: ‘We were walking out when someone pointed out another sister, weeping by the dead girl’s bedside. She was pale and looked as if all the energy had been drained out of her. As I walked towards her she got up and I prayed for her for five to six minutes. She just needed to be loved and comforted.
‘I have no words to express how I felt. I didn’t want to leave; how could I leave this family? My heart was breaking.’
  • Please pray for Saleem and his family, and for the wider Christian community in Lahore as it continues to grieve. Release Int.

Protestant & Roman Catholic Differences.

I once began an RS lesson which was to explain the differences between Protestant and Roman Church belief.
There were 18 major differences the class came up with - having only a little help from me.
Even though, the two groups are radically different - it is clear that in 'the central issues' of Faith, there is a congruence of belief.

Problems arise when certain Catholic beliefs abandon The Scriptures, generally with peripheral issues, and create inexplicable doctrines such as: worship of Saints, creation of saints, purgatory, mariolatry et al.
