As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows:
To:
His Majesty, Charles III,
King of the United Kingdom and the Realms,
Supreme Governor of the Church of England,
Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith.
Your Majesty,
I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled.
Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment.
For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith.
The laws of this land were shaped by it.
The liberties of our people were nurtured by it.
The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it.
From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her.
Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them.
Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age.
Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel.
Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation.
What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state.
It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis.
The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge.
They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation.
Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?”
They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled.
Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.
Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm.
History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ.
That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity.
And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault.
If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed.
The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long.
Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced.
For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender.
You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours.
Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means.
They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them.
For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it.
Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted.
May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown.
Yours faithfully,
Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC
Missionary Bishop
Diocese of Providence
Confessing Anglican Church

Let that number hit you first.

Welcome to Canada.
Not for violence.
Not for theft.
Not for fraud.
For speech.
A former school board trustee in British Columbia, Barry Neufeld, was reportedly hit with a massive ruling by the BC Human Rights Tribunal tied to his public statements about gender ideology.
And the justification?
𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗠.
Yes, that is the term being used now.
𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮.
Think about how insane that sounds in plain English.
Not “incitement.”
Not “harassment.”
Not “threats.”
Just holding and expressing a viewpoint that conflicts with state-approved ideology.
And the punishment?
𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡.
Because a $750,000 penalty isn’t a slap on the wrist.
It’s a 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘-𝗥𝗨𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡.
This is how soft authoritarian systems operate.
They don’t throw you in jail first.
They 𝗣𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬
until dissent becomes unaffordable.
And let’s be honest about the chilling effect here.
If one ruling body can financially crush someone over speech,
the message to everyone else is crystal clear:
𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬 𝗦𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗧
𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗘.
Supporters call these tribunals “human rights protection.”
Critics call them what they increasingly look like:
𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗡𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗦.
Because when the government (or quasi-government tribunals) can decide which beliefs are acceptable — and attach six-figure penalties to the wrong ones — that stops being about tolerance.
That becomes
𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧
backed by legal force.
And here’s the bigger concern people aren’t talking about enough:
Policies like this don’t stay contained.
They set precedents.
They normalize punishment for speech.
And once that door opens, the definition of “harmful opinion” keeps expanding.
Today it’s one viewpoint.
Tomorrow it’s another.
And suddenly free expression isn’t a right anymore —
it’s a 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗕𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗔𝗟.
No reaction is seen, not even the slightest expression of sympathy, from the leftist leaders of Western European countries and UN!
If only we were from Gaza or Palestine, so that at least someone would pay attention to us!!!
Dear Mr. President Trupm! We only count on your words! Ali Khamenei is massacring and butchering the people of Iran! Please help us! SOS!

🚨 JUST IN: This video of Maduro's Venezuela running over and pummeling protestors is going viral after the Left takes the side of Nicolas Maduro following the US strikes and capture
Disgusting.
The Left are communist tyrants.
Islamists in Brussels staged a recreation of the October 7th massacre the weekend after @LoisMcLatch and I were arrested and jailed for peacefully having conversations about puberty blockers, in this same plaza.
🚨GRAPHIC: Video shows a student at North Atlanta High School getting STABBED in the FACE by another student with a pair of scissors.
The student armed with scissors appears to shout "WHITE B*TCH" during the attack.
The injured student, who can be seen with blood gushing from his face, was taken to the hospital.
🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪
To see a young Irish boy being chased by a gang of Africans on the streets of Ireland and then beaten...
It would be unimaginable in a time gone by; sadly, scenes like this are all part and parcel of the cost of multiculturalism being forced onto the natives...
No price is too high...
Christians are being massacred, and their women kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted daily in Nigeria.
This year, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Palestinians in Gaza.
And yet, not a single protest for them!
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
PAKISTAN: a 13-year-old girl is forced to marry an old man. When she tries to run away, the ‘groom’ gets a gun to threaten her.
His friends intervene and say: “We are not savages. Don’t kill her, just r*pe her.”
Sick culture!
⚠️This is the video that Palestinians don't want the world to see.
Armed Palestinian terrorists use kids as human shields against the IDF, just one case among many. This society is sickening. This video must go viral. The world needs to see the truth.
At this point, I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you’ve ever heard by FAR.
It’s not even close.
This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.
Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.
Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.
When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.
Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.
The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.
