The way Anglicans can meet “potentially
uncomfortable challenges” (Church has a big call to make, March 6),
including same-sex marriage, is actually to teach “the word of their god” as the
Dominion Post insultingly puts it.
Traditional Churches in New Zealand - including Catholic
- have committed to the pervasive cult of niceness.
If they dared say gays are not ‘born that way’, that
there’s no such thing as “gender fluidity” or that abortion is murder, they’d be
pilloried in the press for hate speech and Christians who’ve fallen for modern
mores (“progressives”) would accuse Christians who say such things
(“tradionalists”) as uncharitable.
But true charity always speaks the
truth, and the truth never changes.
If traditional Churches abandoned their
career in New Zealand as the Churches of Nice and fearlessly preached the
Gospel, they’d find their pews filling up once more with people who in their
hearts long for that truth which is permanently ‘relevant’.
