Lesbian Bishop Wants to Ditch Crosses for Muslims

[DMcFadden]

The Bishop of Stockholm has proposed a church in her diocese remove all signs of the cross and put down markings showing the direction to Mecca for the benefit of Muslim worshipers.

Eva Brunne, who was made the world’s first openly lesbian bishop by the church of Sweden in 2009, and has a young son with her wife and fellow lesbian priest Gunilla Linden, made the suggestion to make those of other faiths more welcome.

The church targeted is the Seamen’s mission church in Stockholm’s eastern dockyards. The Bishop held a meeting there this year and challenged the priest to explain what he’d do if a ship’s crew came into port who weren’t Christian but wanted to pray.

Calling Muslim guests to the church “angels“, the Bishop later took to her official blog to explain that removing Christian symbols from the church and preparing the building for Muslim prayer doesn’t make a priest any less a defender of the faith. Rather, to do any less would make one “stingy towards people of other faiths”.

Hmmm. I guess it is not a good time to join the Swedish church?

Probably a state church, but I am not certain. I imagine most of the orthodox Christians in Sweden established an alternative structure.

This reminds me of the ostracizing of Børre Knudsen in Norway.

Wow....you just can't make this stuff up....

Hard to tell what is satire anymore.

Very sad..... Many are deceived in that, what claims to be the visible church of Christ, is actually a cesspool of wickedness run by the head of the serpent dressed as an angel of light.
