Let's Have Some Real Anglican Diversity
(via LGF)
The C of E is always, and I mean always wittering about diversity in all things. Having abandoned 99% of its faith's actual tenets in pursuit of it, there is however a last 1% that I personally would love to see go the way of the rest.
That 1% is the identity of the ArchBishop of Canterbury.
Now this post has, I think no one could disagree, been filled by a constant stream of white upper class Liberals whose Leftist political credentials far exceed their spiritual ones. But surely this uniformity of white upper class twits isnt very diverse at all?
So how's about this. I have the perfect candidate for the next Archbish. He's Black, he's back and I think he's absolutely brilliant. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Archbishop Peter Akinola.
Whilst the rest of the PC Priests are far concerned with Palestinian Solidarity and removing Israel from existence through economic boycott whilst in Nigeria Muslims burn churches and slaughter dozens of their fellow Christians, Mr Akinola is emphatically not fussed about slapping around the Joooooz. He's actually - gasp! - interested in the fate of oppressed Christians. This possibly makes him - uniquely - the only person in the Anglican hierarchy who may possibly be capable of halting or even reversing the Church's near-terminal decline.
I'm really serious about this. I dont know how many of my readers are Anglicans or even Christians, and how many will just snigger at the idea. I'm most emphatically not a religious man, but I know plenty of people who are. So get onto your keyboards, break out those letter-writing kits, and send good old Rowan 'boycott the Joooooz' Williams a line. This line, to be precise.
"You have betrayed every ideal our Church once stood for. Please have the decency to resign in favour of a man who hasn't."

Very cool to read the opinions that originate out of the xenophobic US, I actually wish we would elect a black female president, it would solve a whole lotta shit here.
I'd say that LGF arent the xenophobic ones Royce. Trawl through a British site that's on the Left and you'll find far more baseless bile against America than you will on LGF against 'foreigners'.
I also think your wrong about the black female president. Because unless she embraced all the mores of a good Black victim like a good little Leftist then I'm afraid she would be treated much the same way as Condi Rice or that gubernatorial candidate that was charmingly called a 'house nigga' by several Leftist sites because had the gall to stand as a Republican.
Oh for goodness sake! Rowan has made clear that the removal of funds from the company does not amount to a boycott of Israel. I'm and Anglican, and Rowan is just what the Church needed. He is a hugely spiritual man, as anyone who has been in his presence will agree. I hope to go to Israel at least twice in the near future, once with the Union of Jewish Students, and another time with my Uni's theology department. That certainly doesn't sound like a boycott to me.
Boycotting Israeli companies on the grounds that they are helping Israel do supposedly unjustified bad things to the Palestinians is making a deliberate value judgement on Israel's actions to defend itself. So yes, it is implicitly a boycott of Israel and its policies.
This man has accepted a medal from Yasser Arafat's own hand for pete's sake! His only level of spirituality is the warm glow he gets when he sits by the fire with his copies of the Communist Manifesto and the Protocols.
Love the use of 'supposedly' in your last comment. Like 'supposedly' God exists. 'Supposedly' Jesus walked the earth. 'Supposedly' you christians actually follow the preachings of this mythical being. I also take isue with your remarks regarding the left and America. Most of us take issue with the state, not the society. Something many people in the right seem to get confused about. There is a 'state' and a 'society' but they are not the same. Likewise in Israel, there is a 'state' and a 'society'. Criticising one does not imply criticism of the other. Another common mistake by the ignorant right. You are right of course, Israel is defending itself. By killing mothers and children, they are ensuring the future of their own state. Something that obviously should be congratulated. Of course you will probably decide this is anti-semitic, rather than what it actually is, a criticism of the 'state' not the 'society'. Do you see??
Dear Korova,
I'm not a Christian or a Jew, in fact I'm an atheist. Read the post again old boy.
Israel isnt 'killing mothers and children' at all. That is what we on the Right commonly call 'bullshit'. And like the 'legitimate criticism' you talk about it IS anti-Semitic because it is making false claims about the world's only Jewish State.
Read Pandar's excellent post below about the actual statistics surrounding the supposed 'killing of mothers and children', maybe it will open your eyes a little. Telling lies is still telling lies, whether its telling them about a society or a State.

LOL, this isnt a Jewish State and never was a Jewish state any more than any Soviet 'Republic' had a 'national' or 'racial' identity. But good spot anyway Mr/s Anonymous, even if you did typo 'ahem'...
