One of Australia's most senior Anglicans has told those lobbying for the church to accept same-sex marriage to"please leave" rather than push for reform merely to"satisfy the lusts and pleasures of the world".
The archbishop took issue with the diocese of Wangaratta, in Victoria, which this year passed a regulation with the intention of blessing same-sex marriages, Dr Davies said.
Maybe the archbishop should be the one to leave
Not OK for Adults but look the other way if it is kids ‘you sir are out of touch with the world’ religion is the opiate of the masses and soon will be irrelevant
Fair call
Your church will be empty!stop bashing same sex marriages!
He's right
This is why Christianity in the western world is declining, these churches will be run be ageing zealots who cannot evolve with modern world. If Jesus could only sermon to you now, what would he say.
It’s Australians conservatism that keeps the country from surging forward in all aspects of life. Ok be considered, yes look at all the concerns but don’t take us back to the dark ages.
While in NZ thirty years ago, the Anglican Church were ordaining lesbian ministers. I thought how forward thinking the Anglican Church is to support Gay and Lesbian ministers. Obviously those thoughts are not supported by Sydney’s Archbishop. Shame!
So much for Christian charity and inclusiveness.
Newwayofdoing Discrimination, intolerance, hatred ALL are part of most religions. It's either 'conform or you're no good'.
Sin
I am personally offended by the statement, ” in order to satisfy the lusts and pleasures of the world'. Apparently straight marriage has nothing to do with “lust and pleasure” and gay marriage is only about that.
This is nothing new for churches operating for Hundreds of years. We went along with church & spiritual healing before plebersite, but church laws do not change. Think if a lot more people would just take a breath, and realise the church rules kept society civil & charitable.
inclusivelove
It is 2019! How long are we going to hear live with this type of ignorance? People deserve to be happy and to be loved! Yes, see you never . Enjoy the echo of your own voice in an empty church now.
Straya. Getting more bigoted every day.
That's what a real Church says. Know the difference. At the moment a record amount of people are getting their tax payer funded sex changes reversed.
I'm so sick of the archaic evangelical message Jesus Year2019moderntimes
It is time for the church and SydAnglicans to loose tax benefits it has. The church is not above the law.
don't support it is evil
“We’re flat out on our journey to irrelevance and don’t want to be slowed down”
Would Jesus really agree with Archbishop Glenn Davies? Jesus would probably say “I don’t need a command and control hierarchy to manage my people beliefs in Me”....
Totally agreed 💯
LOL... is he asking for a divorce?
😳😳😳😳😳 That’s not very Jesus like. Where’s the love 💕
So the church that was created by the King to change the definition of marriage, doesn’t like its members wanting to change the definition of marriage? Oh the irony.
We will never go back to the Dark AGES
Tax the churches.
Religion poisons everything
Now That IS Head in the Sand Stuff. Jesus would NEVER TURN HIS BACK
Yet another demonstration that religion has nothing to with any god. Just a tool used to perpetuate bigotry and ignorance.
Wasn't this the church that was founded purely because a bloated monarch wanted to behead his wives?
No different than Islam the worlds fastest growing religion
Messed
People are already leaving the Anglican Church in droves and that has nothing to do with same sex marriage ban. Peddling delusional dogma and stupid social mores is not washing with the modern educated person. Churches in all forms in Australia will be gone in two decades.
I thought the Anglican Church was full of old queens
We would all be far better off without going near churches and this crap!
Not a surprise surely? Ultra conservative Sydney Dioceses has always been unwilling to compromise their core beliefs no matter how out of touch with public opinion. No different to Muslim Clerics and their broader organisation refusing to recognise SSM. I don't like it but...🤷♂️
Narrator: Almost everyone had already left.
Start new church
👏👏👏
May be it would be for the good for the Anglican faith if this Archbishop of Sydney packed his bags and left,lets be honest the first words of the bible should be ONCE UPON A TIME just a FAIRY TALE.
How dumb is this. Instead of making his church more relevant to modern society he wants to keep it in the middle/dark ages. He will get his wish and his church will wither on the vine.
... and that’s why your church is dying! Better suggestion: check out FrBower . THAT’S the way forward.
So, the message to Anglican pedophile priests is the same?
No wonder people are leaving the church in droves... 🙄
Not a very Cristian thing to say... Even Jesus welcomed the outcasts.
As he stands there in a dress!!!!
It takes great courage to go against popular opinions he is not persecuting anyone he simply asked them to leave and find another church. It is another topic whether you are for or against same sex marriage this is a man of integrity and deserves respect
Way ahead of you...
What about people who rape children? They seem to be welcome
Maybe the Archbishop should leave. Just saying
Religion sux.
CarolynFrawley1 No wonder people are leaving these religious corporations.
At least someone is sticking to their mandate.
'Really, there is something deeply wrong with Australia.' Perhaps the curse of the original sin of having 'acquired' a jumbo island brimming with resources & decimated oldest continuously living human society, that misogyny & racism had to be casual & pervasive –as daily insult.
Lol maybe he should leave
Jesus wept.
That’s what written in the bible. Shame it didn’t print in black and white, a man in cloak lusting over children male/female is a sin!
Gross.
