Strong words from the Anglican Church of Kenya. Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit couldn’t have made his message any clearer for the woke, who have not only infiltrated Christian Churches, but demonize Christian tradition. This has promoted the social persecution in the West of those who choose to uphold traditional Christian beliefs and discuss them openly. To hold the belief that an action is sinful does not in any way imply or amount to hatred. It only means a difference of held belief, which is a protected right.
In a transparent and hypocritical move, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby recently slammed attempts to “force same-sex marriage” on the Church. But what does he expect, since same-sex blessings are approved in the Church of England? His rebuke made no sense, except that Welby’s reaction was likely in response to condemnation from the Association of British Muslims.
Anglican bishop in Kenya rejects Church of England’s decision
to bless same-sex unions

NAIROBI, Kenya (LifeSiteNews) – The Anglican Church of Kenya has strongly condemned the Church of England for its decision to bless same-sex unions.
Slamming the decision as a contradictory attempt to appease both sides on the Anglican same-sex “marriage” debate, Ole Sapit said, ”It is ridiculous that the Church of England affirms to remain faithful to the traditional teachings of marriage, yet have sanctioned the so-called prayers of love to be used in their churches to bless unions between persons of same-sex. This is hypocritical and a blatant lie for there is only one truth and not many versions or opinions of it.’
Ole Sapit continued, ‘The unfortunate rise of the liberal churchmanship within the Western Provinces of our beloved Anglican Communion is devious and must be countered with the true gospel. Having lost all theological and doctrinal legitimacy, the liberal churches have used their political dominance to secularize the church by normalizing all manner of sins.”
Firmly positioning the Anglican Church of Kenya as faithful to the Gospel, Ole Sapit called upon Anglicanism’s western branches to repent:
We in the Anglican Church of Kenya call upon these western liberal Provinces to repent and return to the one and only faith in Jesus Christ as revealed and taught in the canonical scriptures of the church. The rhetoric of political and secular correctness will only serve to undermine the one and only pure gospel, and unless these churches preach the gospel as we inherited it, they will soon be irrelevant, lose their identity as a church, and they will only be as good as that salt which has lost its saltiness to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by the world (Matthew 5:13). We make a humble call to these churches: “Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. Your actions do not meet the requirements of God”.
The Anglican archbishop declared, “From the Holy Scriptures it is taught that marriage is between one man and one woman, monogamous and heterosexual. Any deviation from this God-designed covenant relationship is sinful and unacceptable. If there are people who are not called to marriage and are faithful followers of Christ, let them embrace celibacy, and live a life obedient to the teachings of the bible as they so profess to believe in.”
