This is so horrific that it’s almost funny! It reminded me of Straik, the mad atheist clergyman in Lewis’ That Hideous Strength.

You have got to be KIDDING ME?!
I knew things were bad in Europe, but this is just retarded! Of all the dumb oxymorons you can come up with, ‘athiest clergyman’ has to take the cake! And 1 in 6 clergyman in that area are agnostic/atheistic?! Not to mention the other new ‘hip’ churches that eschew everything Christian (including Christ himself) in a desperate attempt to try and get people to join them. Pathetic does not begin to describe this situation here. Somewhere in the article it was metnioned that they were doing these things so that Christianity would not ‘die out’, well if this is their answer, then by all means have shrap of respect for it and let it ‘die out’ with some of it’s dignity intact! Christianity is not going anywhere, but these fools in their attempt to ‘save it’ will only hurt it, not help it.
As for what Joseph mentioned, I have yet to read “That Hideous Strength” but it’s on my list, and when I do get to it, sadly I think I will be reminded of this pitiful article whenever that mad clergyman shows up.
It would be laughable if they weren’t serious. How does one comment charitably on a religion of misbeliefs in an undefined ‘something’? This certainly isn’t Christianity.
We know that there have been and will be false profit$ who peddle half (or in this case, less than half) truths, mixing them with ear-tickling spin so as to attempt to dilute Christ’s actual teachings into a marketable snake-oil. Such endeavors can only be countered with Christ’s undiluted teachings as taught and protected by the Holy Spirit within His Church – the same Church He instructed us to turn to to settle our disputes, that He authorized to bind or loose us from our sins, and where He dwells in the Flesh as our daily Bread of Life. Jesus, Being the Good Shepherd and our life-saving Balm, is to be heralded and administered liberally by and through His Church, until the end of time.
Such are the endeavors and the fruit of His faithful, who by preaching His teachings will help keep the eventual number ‘Bah’ing on His right side, greater than the lost, bleating on His left.
Thank you for the link –
God bless.
