As Dr Rowan Williams announced his resignation from the post of Archbishop of Canterbury, church officials began their search for a replacement sufficiently detached from reality to accurately represent their interests.
Williams is due to take up a post as Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he will be able to foist his medieval opinions on the impressionable minds of thousands of young people every year.
However, the void left by his considerable personality will need to be filled swiftly, lest the church accidentally find itself dragged into the 19th century.Ouch! The spoof is very funny, but a bit too suggestive of reality. Read the rest at the link.
As one Church official told us, “We face a homophobic vacuum unless we move swiftly. Without someone to take a stance against the gays we could find ourselves overrun within weeks – like a better dressed scene from The Walking Dead.”
H/T to Leonardo.
Gay folk aren't going to run back to the Church simply because we have appointed a new Archbishop. It is only if LGBT folk truly believe that we are accepted and welcomed for all our talents and gifts. That was the purpose of choosing the people of Israel in the first place: They were to be the light to the nations that God was accepting of all.
ReplyDeleteLauren, exactly.
ReplyDeleteI was in a meeting this morning with an Engineer from across the pond (Near Newcastle in fact, but he'd never heard of Father Jonathan) and he told me they were all upset because it looked like York was going to get it.
ReplyDeleteWade, I hope that's just a vicious rumor. Perhaps Sentamu will run campaign ads in the Sunday Sun. The newspaper might even give him free ad space after his splendid promotion of their new publication.
