Yep, its going out on a religious theme. Why, well because I listen to the 2 year old interview Richard Fidler had with Richard Holloway on ABC Radio.
Richard Holloway became a priest and went onto become the Bishop of Edinburgh.
You can access the audio file of the interview at http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2012/09/26/3598196.htm
Sorry, but Richard Holloway came out sounding fairly absurd, he whimsically trotted out stories, interesting ones too, of his life.
He claims to be an agnostic Christian. Did I say or mention the word "Absurd" yet???
The ABC transcript stated "Richard Holloway describes himself as an "agnostic Christian": he's not certain Christ was divine, but he still tries to live by the idea of Jesus the radical preacher from Nazareth"
Well that's possible for an agnostic to follow, but not a Christian.
A Christian is a person who isn't perfect but is saved because they did one big thing, accepted Christ's gift of dying for us, being the blood sacrifice required to be forgiven. You actually cannot accept Him as Messiah without accepting Him as part of the Trinity, that is He is divine.
Absurd is someone denying His divinity & getting that far in any church claiming to be Christian who is actually, technically, by actual in context definition "CHRISTIAN"
No surprise his comments about slavery in connection to Scripture...wrong.
His comments and views about women's place in the church in connection to Scripture...poor and wrong.
His understanding of Scripture is extremely wrong and flawed. It musta been all about the frocks and the cake stalls to get through in that church.
His comments and views on homosexuality, again poor understanding of Scripture.
Revelation mentions the 7 churches and if there's a modern day parallel, the Church of England & the Roman Catholic Church are amongst the 7...and they both aren't in the top 5.
