@MsVCooke @ShervingtonD Persecution always starts small, with good intentions and concerns. But turns ugly. Anglicans sometimes have a tendency to behave like they are the only church around or like only their way is the right way. It’s important to share the space and accept some differences.
@MsVCooke @ShervingtonD Let’s not pretend that this is a real conversation about the stress, strain,cost, and effort it takes to run church services especially at a time when back to back festive services are demanded. Many churches struggle just to keep the lights on or keep full time staff. Free..?
@MsVCooke @ShervingtonD For Context, I was throwing stones/ constructively criticising my own church. One I know very well. Until recently I worked as an priest in the CofE so I think I know it well. The thread is just people throwing stones at HS, just because they worship differently. That’s not ok
@DavidHartley_ @ShervingtonD Can we please be logical about this… stop behaving like worship comes at no cost, Just because your church can afford to do so. That doesn’t mean all churches can nor should. Any real conversation about church finances leaves everyone fallen short.
@DavidHartley_ @ShervingtonD Oooh that Joseph and those shepherds. Excuse my confusion there are more than a few in the bible. Joseph didn’t own the building or have to upkeep it’s costs. However he was prepared to pay the cost of a room for him and his pregnant wife.
@ShervingtonD Ooooh so this is about calling out/ challenging another’s idolatry? Before I assume anything and make an idiot out of myself can I ask what your comparing to? The Anglican Church/ Catholic Church ?
