Cherry Pits

The Church in Wales, the Principality’s Anglican denomination, has appointed Cherry Vann, Bishop of Monmouth, to be its new Archbishop. Archbishop Cherry, a practising lesbian, pronounced that the Church in Wales should represent the "diversity around the world and in our communities”:

"As a woman, and as a civily-partnered bishop, I'm modelling that for people in the country and I think that's good news."

Archbishop Cherry sums up the state of Christianity in this land. As the churches close and become second-homes, shops and mosques, she trumpets ‘diversity’ and unorthodox sexual ethics. Diversity is not what we need; it is faithfulness to God’s word and submission to His revealed will. The good news we need to hear is not another same-sex relationship but Jesus Christ's offer of sins' forgiveness. ‘Diversity’ here is just another word for divergence, deviation and departure.

The Church in Wales on average closes ten churches per year, and opens none in their place. A hundred and twenty years ago, this was the land of revival, but it is now a spiritually parched and barren desert. The Church in Wales is not just a casuality of this, it is one of its major causes. I pray God closes down the lot, and then starts again from scratch.
