Quo Vadis, Justin?

Been watching the inauguration of the new Archbishop of Canterbury at the seat of Augustine. Hoping God's best for the Anglican denomination!!!  Have some niggles with aspects of the event however. Just observations, to be held loosely. I guess time will tell.

Like what? Masonic handshakes, people singing the (Hindu) Chant "Suranam", R.C. Cardinals and Bishops, Muslim Imans, Traditional African "spirit" drummers... (well Prince Charles seems pleased at least - it fits in with his declared intentions for being head of this)

The biggest issue for me, however, was the symbolism of Justin Welby, swearing to and signing an "ecumenical" declaration, along with a catholic bishop, on the day Thomas Cramner was burnt at the stake in 1556. Cramner was burnt at the stake in Oxford, for renouncing such signed fealty with Rome (what was it Cramner said about his right arm, as the fire grew?) Bad-show Archbishop Welby! At least stop pretending to honour Cramner in your sermons; if anything, it was a recantation of the recantation, that sealed his execution. Interesting we alluded to Thomas Cramner, a few posts back HERE! (maybe, we're a little prophetic?)

The new Archbishop was described by the T.V. commentary as a "man of purpose", yes, I'm sure he is ... and everything was done on purpose.

Like the sudden change over of the pope, whose name was announced exactly at (roman time) 20.13pm 13 / 3 / 2013, nothing here was done by accident. The ecumenical movement keeps lobbying that "the reformation is over"... well it's obvious to those with eyes, that the counter-reformation isn't. I mean, in Rome, they've just voted in a member of the very military order that championed it.

Starting as you mean to go on then?

Yes, God help the Church of England.
