TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8357ANGLICANI A PEZZI, IN NIGERIA RESPINTA LA ''PAPESSA'' DI CANTERBURY di Federica Di Vito La Comunione anglicana di Nigeria ha criticato la nomina del vescovo Sarah Mullally come arcivescovo di Canterbury. In una dichiarazione rilasciata lunedì e firmata dall'arcivescovo, metropolita e primate della chiesa della Nigeria, il reverendo Henry C. Ndukuba, l'elezione viene descritta come «devastante» e in contrasto con le convinzioni della maggioranza degli anglicani a livello globale.L'annuncio è arrivato il 3 ottobre: per la prima volta una donna viene nominata arcivescovo di Canterbury, la massima autorità spirituale della Comunione anglicana e primate d'Inghilterra. Nella pratica, sarebbe la "papessa" anglicana, sebbene la sua figura non ha nulla a che fare con il ruolo del Successore di Pietro. Si tratta della 63enne Sarah Mullally, sposata e madre di due figli, ex infermiera (dal 2004 si è dedicata al ministero) con ruoli di un certo livello nel Sistema sanitario inglese come direttore non esecutivo del Consiglio inglese di infermeria, ostetricia e assistenza sanitaria domestica. È diventata "presbitero" della chiesa anglicana nel 2006 e poi "vescovo" di Londra nel 2019. È succeduta a Justin Welby, che si è dimesso all'inizio di quest'anno a causa di accuse di pedofilia. Considerata riformista, nel suo primo sermone da vescovo di Londra disse di se stessa in quanto donna: «Sono naturalmente sovversiva». Negli ultimi anni poi è stata promotrice del programma "Vivere nell'Amore e nella Fede" volto anche a «includere e sopportare maggiormente le persone Lgbtqi+».«Si tratta di un doppio rischio», si legge nella dichiarazione della comunità anglicana nigeriana, «in primo luogo, per la sua insensibilità nei confronti della convinzione della maggioranza degli anglicani che non riescono ad accettare la leadership femminile nell'episcopato e, in secondo luogo, cosa ancora più preoccupante, perché il vescovo Sarah Mullally è una forte sostenitrice del matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso». La Comunione anglicana della Nigeria ha ricordato i commenti del vescovo Mullally dopo il voto del 2023 della Chiesa d'Inghilterra che andò ad approvare le benedizioni per le coppie dello stesso sesso: «Un momento di speranza», furono le sue parole.«Resta da vedere come speri di ricomporre il tessuto già lacerato della Comunione anglicana a causa della controversa questione del matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso, che ha causato un'enorme crisi in tutta la Comunione per oltre due decenni», prosegue ancora la dichiarazione dei nigeriani. Rifiutando ufficialmente la leadership dell'arcivescovo di Canterbury, la Comunione di Nigeria ha affermato il suo allineamento con la Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON): «La Chiesa della Nigeria afferma la posizione GAFCON senza riserve e ribadisce la nostra precedente posizione di difendere l'autorità delle Scritture, i nostri credi storici, l'evangelizzazione e la vita cristiana santa, indipendentemente dall'attuale agenda revisionista». La Nigeria, che vede i suoi cristiani letteralmente sotto attacco e provati dal martirio, difficilmente infatti si appiattisce su scelte mondane che al massimo possono attirare la nostra Europa secolarizzata.La Comunione anglicana nigeriana ha inoltre invitato gli anglicani conservatori in Inghilterra e altrove a resistere a quelli che ha definito «insegnamenti empi» e a difendere la verità biblica: «Incoraggiamo tutti i fedeli fratelli e sorelle della Chiesa d'Inghilterra che hanno costantemente rifiutato l'aberrazione chiamata matrimonio omosessuale e altri insegnamenti empi, lottando per la fede che è stata trasmessa agli eletti».In realtà, nonostante il rumor generale, la nomina di Sarah Mullally non è una sorpresa. Men che meno una «rivoluzione» che «bussa alle porte del pontificato di papa Leone XIV», come vorrebbe Il Fatto quotidiano. Si tratta bensì della naturale conseguenza della scelta che compì la chiesa anglicana nel 1992, quando aprì la possibilità alle donne di accedere al sacerdozio, in netto contrasto con la Chiesa cattolica all'epoca guidata da Giovanni Paolo II. Ci vollero altri vent'anni per aprire anche all'episcopato. Ecco perché non dovevamo di certo aspettare il 2025 per immaginare che prima o poi anche una donna avrebbe aspirato a diventare "papessa".Questa frattura nella comunità anglicana - che, lo facciamo notare, in Nigeria non è marginale visto che sono stimati 20 milioni di anglicani di fronte ai 25 stimati in Gran Bretagna - continua a non sorprenderci se consideriamo anche il percorso di vita del prossimo dottore della Chiesa cattolica san John Henry Newman. Fu lui a concludere attraverso lo studio dei Padri della Chiesa che la verità non è una questione di compromesso o equilibri e che la progressiva deriva protestante della comunità anglicana era dietro l'angolo. Il predominio della libertà di spirito l'avrebbe condotta inesorabilmente a scelte mondane guidate dallo spirito del tempo. Speriamo che l'insegnamento del futuro dottore della Chiesa sia tenuto in buon conto anche in casa cattolica.
Daily Anglican Prayer - Sunday Morning – 23rd November 2025 Readings NRSV: Psalm 46; Deuteronomy 17.14-20; Luke 23.33-43. Led by Felicity Scott, an Anglican prayer minister in Queensland, Australia. The full prayer transcript is available by going to this episode on the Podcast website. https://dailyprayeranglicanprayerbookforaustralia.podbean.com Welcome to Sunday Morning prayer. We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ: GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA With faithfulness we respond to the good news: We acknowledge Christ our Saviour has already saved us and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more. Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever. Let us Pray. 1 This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118.24 Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit: as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen. The Sentence of the day Christ the King / The Reign of Christ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9.9 3 The opening Canticle Oh come let us sing out to the Lord. let us shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his face with thanksgiving. And cry out to him joyfully in psalms. For the Lord is a great God. and a great king above all gods. In his hands are the depths of the earth. and the peaks of the mountains are his also. The sea is his and he made it. His hands moulded dryland. Come let us worship and bow down. And kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is the Lord our god. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture. Today if only you would hear his voice: “Do not harden your hearts as Israel did in the wilderness.” “When your forebears tested me.” “Put me to proof though they had seen my works.” “Forty years long I loathe that generation and said.” “It is a people who err in their hearts.” “For they do not know my ways.” “Of whom I swore in my wrath.” “They shall not enter my rest.” 3 The Opening Prayer The night has passed, and the day lies open before us; let us pray with one heart and mind. Silence may be kept. As we rejoice in the gift of this new day, so may the light of your presence, O God, set our hearts on fire with love for you; now and for ever. Amen. 4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each. Psalm 46 1 God is our refuge and strength: a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved: and though the mountains are shaken in the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters rage and foam: and though the mountains quake at the rising of the sea. 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God: the holy dwelling-place of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her, therefore she shall not be moved: God will help her, and at break of day. 6 The nations make uproar, and the kingdoms are shaken: but God has lifted his voice, and the earth shall tremble. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our stronghold. 8 Come then and see what the Lord has done: what destruction he has brought upon the earth. 9 He makes wars to cease in all the world: he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, and burns the chariots in the fire. 10 ‘Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted upon the earth.' 11 The Lord of hosts is with us: the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Christ the King / The Reign of Christ The Song of Zechariah (Benedictus, Luke 1.68–79) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel: who has come to his people and set them free. The Lord has raised up for us a mighty Saviour: born of the house of his servant David. Through the holy prophets, God promised of old: to save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us, To show mercy to our forebears: and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath God swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear: holy and righteous before him, all the days of our life. And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High: for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation: by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God: the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace. 5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow Lord God, whose blessed Son rose in triumph and set us free: grant us the fullness of life he promised us, that through the Holy Spirit our hearts may possess him whom our eyes cannot see, the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed. 1st Reading Deuteronomy 17.14-20 14 When you have come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, ‘I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me', 15 you may indeed set over you a king whom the Lord your God will choose. One of your own community you may set as king over you; you are not permitted to put a foreigner over you, who is not of your own community. 16 Even so, he must not acquire many horses for himself, or return the people to Egypt in order to acquire more horses, since the Lord has said to you, ‘You must never return that way again.' 17 And he must not acquire many wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away; also silver and gold he must not acquire in great quantity for himself. 18 When he has taken the throne of his kingdom, he shall have a copy of this law written for him in the presence of the levitical priests. 19 It shall remain with him and he shall read in it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, diligently observing all the words of this law and these statutes, 20 neither exalting himself above other members of the community nor turning aside from the commandment, either to the right or to the left, so that he and his descendants may reign long over his kingdom in Israel. The reading is followed by Hear the word of the LORD Thanks be to GOD 2nd Reading Luke 23. 33-43 33When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots to divide his clothing. 35And the people stood by watching, but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!” 36The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine 37and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.” 39 One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” 40But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” The reading is followed by Hear the message of Christ Thanks be to GOD. 7 The Canticle, The Song of Zechariah (Benedictus) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel: who has come to his people and set them free. The Lord has raised up for us a mighty Saviour: born of the house of his servant David. Through the holy prophets, God promised of old: to save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us, To show mercy to our forebears: and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath God swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear: holy and righteous before him, all the days of our life. And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High: for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation: by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God: the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1.68–79 8 The Apostles creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit born of the virgin Mary. suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. 9 The Prayers Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. 10 The LORDs prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen. 10 The Collect of the Day Christ the King / The Reign of Christ Eternal God, you exalted Jesus Christ to rule over all things, and have made us instruments of his kingdom: by your Spirit empower us to love the unloved, and to minister to all in need, then at the last bring us to your eternal realm where we may be welcomed into your everlasting joy and may worship and adore you for ever; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Prayer of the Week Christ the King / The Reign of Christ Stir up,we pray you, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people, that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may by you be plenteously rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 11 Intercessions and Thanksgivings may be made according to local custom and need. Let us pray Almighty God, through your Son Jesus Christ you gave many excellent gifts to your apostles.

Send us a textWith the appointment of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury, debates around “liberal Christianity” have reignited—but most people misunderstand what the term actually means. In this video, I trace the roots of liberal Christianity back to nineteenth-century thinkers like Schleiermacher, who, inspired by Kant, reimagined faith as an inner moral and spiritual experience rather than a set of metaphysical claims. I then contrast this historical movement with the modern political label often used in today's culture wars, showing why many arguments about “liberal” versus “conservative” Christianity miss the deeper theological questions at stake.Support the show--------------------------If you would want to support the channel and what I am doing, please follow me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/christianityforall Where else to find Josh Yen: Philosophy YT: https://bit.ly/philforallEducation: https://bit.ly/joshyenBuisness: https://bit.ly/logoseduMy Website: https://joshuajwyen.com/
Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Sarah Mullally Archbishop? The Church of England, the Anglican Church, has announced a new Archbishop of Canterbury. And that Archbishop is Sarah Mullally. Is this appointment endorsed by the God of the Bible? How can you tell? Is there any difference between the required qualifications of an endorsement from God Almighty and leaders in the world, like Keir Starmer and King Charles III? Would the actions and beliefs of Ms. Mullally point to biblical Christianity or not? Are Ms. Mullally's beliefs consistent with the revealed commands of the Most High God of the Bible? Do they even agree with the New Revised Standard Version, which is the Bible that the Church of England uses? What does it say about women, bishops, and preaching? What about the apparel of the Church of England and its American branch, the Episcopalians? Could their clothing actually point to the god of their faith? And what about the title "Right Reverend," is that appropriate for a Christian leader? The answers to these questions are found in the pages of your Bible. Watch this video as Dr. Thiel uses the Bible to quote the verses that answer these tough questions. The answers may surprise you. In fact, the answers may surprise many of the Protestant faith. Nevertheless, they are the answers that God has written for our admonition. Here is a link to a FREE eBook titled “Hope of Salvation: How the Continuing Church of God Differs from Protestantism” that goes into great detail about the beliefs, and the origin of those beliefs, of the Protestant Churches, including the Anglican Church of England. https://www.cogwriter.com/protestant-...

Am 3. Oktober hat die anglikanische Kirche Geschichte geschrieben: Sarah Mullally ist die erste Erzbischöfin von Canterbury. Doch nur wenige Tage später droht eine Kirchenspaltung: Konservative Bischöfe, insbesondere aus dem globalen Süden, rufen dazu auf, den Sitz von Canterbury zu boykottieren. Dabei wollen sie sich nicht von der anglikanischen Kirche abspalten, sondern verlautbaren: "Wir sind die Anglikanische Gemeinschaft." Was hat es damit auf sich? Ist Sarah Mullally Schuld an der Spaltung? Welche Folgen hat das für die weltweite anglikanische Kircher?
With the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally being named, I was curious as to if religion needed to diversify? And if it current institutions need to, how can they? Because isn't religion set in stone? Also, does "religion" need anything, or is religion just an existing thing? I had all these questions swirling in my head. So I went to ask someone I hold in high regard who may have more insight. I went to ask my friend, Canon Dr Anthony Lees-Smith from the Chester Cathedral. I am not a religious person, you may already know that. But I LOVE what he is doing at the Cathedral. You may be like me, prone to suspicion of organized religion. But the events being held at the Cathedral lately make me so happy. The discussions on AI, the recent performance of Jay Hulme (transgender poet), the Jugalbandi (classic Indian music) concert, and the humility by which Dr Lees-Smith interacts with people ... I mean, if I were to be religious THAT is how I would want my church to be. So, not only did I feel comfortable enough to ask, I trusted the discussion to be set in logic/humility and not in missionary language. (With even an awareness of colonisation) So I asked him. And his responses blew my mind! Stuff I didn't know!
It's Monday, October 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes, written by Jonathan Clark, heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Human Rights Conference in Berlin Highlights Christian Persecution Human rights experts met in Berlin, Germany last Wednesday, highlighting the increased persecution of Christians worldwide. The International Society for Human Rights released a new report on Christian persecution at the conference. The report notes that Christians suffer under dictatorial states like China, Cuba, and North Korea. They remain victims of discrimination and violence without state protections in countries like Egypt, Syria, Nigeria, India, and Myanmar. And believers face persecution in Islamic republics like Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan. The conference also highlighted the suffering of Ukrainian Christians under Russian occupation. Johann Matthies with the Evangelical Alliance in Germany said, “Russian occupation authorities are specifically targeting Ukrainian religious communities: they are pressuring churches to cooperate or destroying them if they refuse.” Psalm 34:15-16 says, “The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.” President Trump Continues Efforts to End Russian-Ukrainian War U.S. President Donald Trump continues his efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. President Trump spoke over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Thursday. He then met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last Friday. President Trump also plans on meeting with President Putin in Budapest, Hungary in the coming weeks. Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: "I met with President Zelensky, as you know, today, and we had a very good meeting; very cordial meeting. In my opinion, they should stop the war immediately. You stop at the battle line, and both sides should go home, go to their families, stop the killing, and that should be it. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelensky. I told it to President Putin. Thank you very much, everybody." Russia Proposes a Rail Tunnel Under the Bering Strait Reuters reports Russia proposed a “Putin-Trump” rail tunnel under the Bering Strait to link the two nations. The eight billion dollar proposal follows President Donald Trump's phone call with President Vladimir Putin. Russia's proposal would involve building a 70-mile rail and cargo tunnel between Alaska and Russia's eastern region of Chukotka. The plan suggested Elon Musk's Boring Company for the construction project. President Trump called the idea “interesting,” saying, “We'll have to think about that.” Trump Moves to Reduce the Cost of IVF Last Thursday, President Donald Trump announced a deal with the pharmaceutical industry to reduce the cost of in vitro fertilization. The Trump administration hailed the move as pro-family. However, pro-life groups are criticizing the plan. LifeSiteNews noted, “The IVF process is gravely unethical as it entails the conscious creation of scores of ‘excess' embryonic humans only to be killed and human lives being treated like commodities to be bartered over. It has been estimated that more than a million embryos are frozen in storage in the United States following IVF, and that as many as 93 percent of all embryos created through IVF are eventually destroyed.” Conservative Anglicans Split from the Church of England Conservative Anglicans formally split from the Church of England last week. The Global Anglican Future Conference, also known as GAFCON, declared itself to be the Global Anglican Communion. It will no longer participate in meetings called by the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury. Sarah Mullally is the recently appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. She is the first female to hold the position and supports same-sex blessings. Bishop Laurent Mbanda is the chairman of the GAFCON Primates' Council as well as the Primate of Rwanda. He wrote, “We cannot continue to have communion with those who . . . abandoned the inerrant word of God as the final authority.” Isaiah 8:20 says, “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Pew Research: Divorce Rates are Down in the U.S. And finally, Pew Research reports divorce rates, and specifically refined divorce rates, are down in the U.S. Unlike the overall divorce rate, the refined divorce rate takes into account changes in the number of people who are married at any given time. This refined divorce rate peaked in the U.S. around 1980 at 22.6 divorces per 1,000 married women. By 2023, it had declined to 14.4 divorces per 1,000 married women. The report noted that married men are more likely to be employed than divorced men. Also married adults have higher household incomes and hold more wealth than divorced adults.

The Church of England's Church Commissioners are ear-marking £100million (or is it £1billion?) for slavery reparations. Emeritus Professor of Moral Theology and Member of the House of Lords, Nigel Biggar says that this idea is ethically dubious and amounts to thinly-veiled self-flagellation in an effort to appear relevant to a post-Christian society in the face of the Church's dwindling numbers and influence. CofE rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk with Lord Biggar about his new book and related issues:The shady world of the Church of England's Project Spire: its methodology, processes and rationale for reparations.Historical arguments for and against reparations by the Church of England.The wider context of the ethical debate around reparations including the ubiquity of slavery, British abolitionism and the suppression of slavery, and the "riotous jungle of history".Why arguments for reparations are based on a lack of understanding of, and sympathy for, our forbears.What is the relationship of Woke orthodoxy to Christianity.The Early Church and slavery.The legality (or not) of reparations.Hopes for the new book and the future Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, vis-a-vis this issue.Find Lord Biggar's Substack 'The Biggar Picture': https://www.nigelbiggar.co.ukYou make this podcast possible.

On today's program, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was a founding member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. Its sister ministry, Samaritan's Purse, joined soon after. Now, both ministries have voluntarily resigned due to a newly added leadership requirement. We'll have details. And, pro-life ministries continue to adjust to a post-Roe world. MinistryWatch senior reporter Kim Roberts took a deep dive into where the pro-life movement stands now. Plus, the Church of England names its first female Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally. The appointment was ratified by King Charles III last week. But first, Tony Evans will not be returning to lead his Dallas megachurch after completing a year-long restoration process due to an undisclosed sin.

It's Thursday, October 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistani pastor dies after 13-year jail sentence A pastor in Pakistan died on Sunday after languishing in prison for 13 years. Pastor Zafar Bhatti founded Jesus World Mission Church ministry. Back in 2012, he was falsely accused of insulting Islam. Authorities finally overturned his conviction this month, releasing him last Wednesday. The 62-year-old pastor died days after from cardiac arrest at his home. The British Asian Christian Association helped defend the pastor in court. The organization stated, “Though his earthly journey has ended, Zafar's faith, endurance, and ultimate vindication remain a powerful testament to hope in Christ amidst persecution.” Nigerian Anglican Church appalled that woman chosen to be new church head The Anglican Church of Nigeria declared spiritual independence from the Church of England on Tuesday. The announcement came in response to the Church of England's appointment of Sarah Mullally as the Archbishop of Canterbury. She is the first woman to hold the position. She also supports abortion and faux homosexual marriage. Archbishop Henry Ndukuba is the Primate of the Church of Nigeria. He stated, “[Mullally's] appointment marks a tragic departure from biblical orthodoxy. . . . We remain Anglicans — but not under Canterbury. Our loyalty is to Christ and the truth of His Word, not to institutions that have abandoned it.” Police arrest man intent on blowing up church with Supreme Court Justices In the United States, police arrested a man on Sunday who had hundreds of explosive devises outside of St. Matthews Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Police made the arrest before an annual service traditionally attended by U.S. Supreme Court justices. According to court records, the man's notebook expressed animosity toward Supreme Court justices, the Catholic Church, Jews, and immigration enforcement officials. FBI cuts ties with God-hating Southern Poverty Law Center The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced last week it has cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center. The far-left nonprofit is known for listing conservative and Christian organizations as “hate groups,” primarily because they affirm God's design for sexuality and marriage. FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X, “The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine. Their so-called ‘hate map' has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence. That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.” Florida, Louisiana, Missouri & Texas sue FDA over mail-order Abortion Kill Pill The state of Louisiana joined a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration on Monday. Florida, Missouri, and Texas are also on the case. They are challenging the FDA's 2023 policy that allows mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana's filing states, “Every year, doctors and activists in states like California and New York mail a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved abortion drug called mifepristone to thousands of Louisiana residents for the express purpose of causing abortions in Louisiana that are blatantly unlawful.” Gold hit $4,000 per ounce first time ever On Tuesday, spot gold prices hit $4,000 per ounce for the first time in history. That's up 50% from January. Silver is up 60% this year. The demand for gold is up as investors hedge against economic uncertainty. Financial analyst Rhona O'Connell told Reuters, “Background factors are much the same as before, in terms of geopolitical uncertainty, with the added spice of the (U.S.) government shutdown.” Prison Fellowship and Bible League to send 620,000 Bibles to prisoners And finally, Prison Fellowship International and Bible League International are partnering to distribute over half a million Bibles. The 620,000 Bibles will go to prisoners in 20 countries over the next five years. Frank Lofaro with Prison Fellowship International said, “God's Word has the power to reach prisoners in their darkest moments with the light of Jesus Christ. Through this partnership, prisoners who come to know Jesus through our evidence-based, in-prison programs are equipped to grow in their faith through a Bible that they can understand and that speaks to their circumstances.” Luke 4:18 says, “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Just search ‘Quite right!' wherever you are listening now.This week, Michael and Maddie record Quite right! in front of a live audience at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester – with attendance down, the big question is whether Kemi Badenoch can survive as leader of the opposition. There is the unmistakable air of fatalism among MPs staring down electoral annihilation – but would another change in leadership cement the Tories as pathologically regicidal?They also debate Badenoch's bold pledge to bar candidates who won't back leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a ‘calculated risk' that could redefine the party's identity or too little too late?Then, in the wake of the horrific Manchester synagogue attack, they turn to the rise of anti-Semitism and the crisis of policing. Are Britain's streets really being governed by ‘two-tier justice'? And what does it say about public order – and public confidence – that Jewish Britons are being told to stay indoors for their own safety?Finally, they dissect the Church of England's choice of Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. Is she an inspired appointment, or proof that the Church has become, as Michael puts it, ‘another bureaucratic manifestation of generalised niceness'?Produced by Oscar Edmondson Hosted on Acast.

The Church of England has confirmed that the Bishop of London, Dame Sarah Mullally, will take on the role of Archbishop of Canterbury — but instead of celebration, the global response has been marked by shock, disappointment, and unprecedented criticism.Once, the Archbishop of Canterbury was recognised as the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion — the “first among equals” for Anglicans everywhere. But that authority has been dramatically eroded in recent years, especially after the GAFCON and Global South movements declared in 2023 that they no longer recognised Canterbury's leadership, citing the Church of England's decision to bless same-sex relationships as a betrayal of biblical truth.As the GAFCON Kigali Commitment put it:“Public statements by the Archbishop of Canterbury and other leaders of the Church of England in support of same-sex blessings are a betrayal of their ordination and consecration vows to banish error and to uphold and defend the truth taught in Scripture.”With GAFCON and the Global South together representing as much as 85% of global Anglicans, Sarah Mullally will now lead a communion that is, in practical terms, far smaller and more fractured than it was at the start of Justin Welby's tenure.So what does this appointment mean for the future of Anglicanism? Joining us today are three leading voices (statements from their organisations are linked):Archbishop Laurent Mbanda, Primate of Rwanda and Chair of the GAFCON movement.Dr Lee Gatiss, Director of the Church Society in the UK.And Vaughan Roberts, Rector of St Ebbe's, Oxford, and a key leader in the evangelical Alliance within the Church of England.See also George Owers article in The Critic: The Lanyard Class Archbishop.

Sarah Mullally, named this week as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury, the most senior position in the Anglican Church. Formerly the Bishop of London, in her previous career she was the youngest ever chief nursing officer in England. She was ordained in 2001 and in 2005 became a Dame. Her appointment breaks the long-held tradition of a male head of the Church. She's expected to attract criticism from more conservative elements of the Anglo-Catholic and Evangelical elements of the church. Mark Coles speaks to friends, family and former colleagues.

Few people, particularly in the UK, have shown the kind of courageous, tenacious commitment to truth as media personality, minister, conservative commentator, and Anglican deacon Fr. Calvin Robinson. In 2020, after discerning a call to church ministry, Robinson left a career in teaching to pursue a degree in theology through St. Stephen's House, Oxford. In 2022, he applied for a curacy within the London Diocese of the Church of England. Robinson, a British citizen of mixed race, learned that his application had been held up due to his opinions on Critical Race Theory. Earlier, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby declared that the Church of England was “deeply institutionally racist,” a statement with which Robinson took issue. When it became clear that church leaders were dragging their feet over his placement, Robinson requested access to the files pertaining to his case. He learned that the Church of England, not the “broad church” many assumed, was rejecting him for his outspoken conservative views. Describing a conversation with the Bishop of London, Rt. Rev. Sarah Mullally, Robinson reported: I said as a mixed race person I don't feel like the church is institutionally racist. I think it's wrong for the Archbishop of Canterbury to stand up on a pedestal to announce, “We are racist.” I think that's wrong. I think individuals are racist and they need to be held to account for it, but to say that we as an institution are, that's unhelpful. I don't think it's statistically true. And she said to me, “Well I think we are, and as a white woman I can tell you that we are, and I've seen it.” His view on racial issues is not the only area in which Fr. Robinson found himself in conflict with the Church of England. As he put it, It seems the Church will affirm any liberal progressive secular view, but clamp down on conservative views, either political or theological. If you defend family values, the sanctity of marriage, all human life being sacred, or the fact that God made us male and female, you'll face opprobrium. Ousted from the Church of England, Fr. Robinson became a deacon in the Free Church of England instead, a church that aligns with the Global Anglican Future Conference, or GAFCON, an international body committed to biblical orthodoxy. Until recently, he hosted a popular show on GB News and now serves as minister-in-charge in a local parish. Fr. Robinson recently defended that the church should not perform or bless same-sex “marriages” in a debate at the Oxford Union, one of the world's oldest institutions of public discourse. His opponents were three progressive bishops. In each of these experiences, Robinson has demonstrated the kind of courage required for Christian faithfulness today. This begins, as Robinson put it, with a commitment to truth: People are looking for the Truth. It is our job as the Church to proclaim the Truth from the rooftops and let people know there is another way; that Jesus Christ is the truth and the way, and the life. If that means being counter-cultural, so be it. It is not our job to chase societal norms, it is our job to live a life rooted in the Scriptures. We cannot chase fads in order to attract numbers, bums in seats are a side-effect not the objective. … [W]e are called to disciple the nations—but I do not believe that means obsessing over attracting new demographics; that means obsessing over preaching the Good News, doing it well and faithfully. If we do that, people will come, and Christ will convert them.
