Islam, sectarianism and the General Election

The cancelling of Fr Pullicino should mark the beginning of the fightback
Christians are at last beginning to stir from their post-linguistically-mugged lethargy, and fighting back.

The shock of a Church deciding to bless sin has caused many evangelical Anglicans to re-think whether they can stay. Can they honourably serve God in an institution that some think has come close to the sin against the Holy Spirit?

Now the battle for gay blessings has been won, it will move on to gay marriage within a fairly short period.
