A crowd outside St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, west of London, in June. The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is to take place there in May.
A prominent Anglican cleric and gay rights campaigner known for contentious gestures has urged believers to pray for Prince George — age 4, and third in line to the throne — to find the love “of a fine young gentleman” when he grows up so as to advance the cause of same-sex marriage in church. Coming just days after Prince Harry — George’s uncle, and fifth in line — announced his engagement to Meghan Markle, a divorced American actress, the suggestion by the Very Rev.

Prince Harry and Ms. Markle have said they will marry in May at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, west of London. But it is only since 2002 that the Church of England has permitted church marriages for divorced people, “in exceptional circumstances” at the discretion of parish priests.

My Take - It really does amaze me what goes on in these people's heads. Somehow they must have rationalized abandoning Biblical teachings. They're in effect saying God is a loon and has no idea what he's talking about, but that won't impact church attendance. Get real. When you tell the world the Bible is baloney, and God is clueless you're telling the world you don't believe there is a God. And what must be the logical and natural reaction to these "churchmen"?
If there's no God, or you God's
views are subordinate to the latest leftist philosophical flavor of the
day, then who needs you?
And they wonder why main stream religions are on the wan, churches
are closing all over the western world, foundational morality is no
longer the social paradigm and violence and rebellion is rampant among
the young, with over 80% having no religious training whatsoever.
Unfortunately - or fortunately - as is demonstrated in this case - does it matter?
