The Church of England Knows No Bounds

July 22, 2007

If crude comedy is not your bag, then maybe witchcraft is. Several weeks ago the Church of England released a book for youth workers using the Simpsons. It is their position that this will make the Gospel more relevant, thus making the Gospel more attractive to youth. The concept is, put simply, hogwash. I’m not sure ‘hogwash’ is in the dictionary but it should be. I think you can come to your own conclusion as to my thoughts about this ridiculous idea of mixing the filth of the world with the timeless treasures found in Holy Scripture.

What on earth is the Church of England thinking?

As if the Simpsons are not enough relevant garbadge, the Church of England has now embraced witchcraft by introducing a Harry Potter ‘Youth Guide’.

Consider this outrageous quote regarding the ‘gospel according to Potter’.

The Anglican Communion should learn lessons from Harry Potter, the Bishop of St. David’s, Carl Cooper, said on the eve of the release of the final book in the long-running series. Cooper told the Western Mail and Echo newspaper that the Christian virtues of humility, respect and love portrayed in the stories about the teenage wizard should be replicated within the church.

Now, if we dare, let us consider the Word of God for a moment.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

[italics, emphasis mine]

Did you catch that; their ears will be turned unto fables rather than the truth. What more is Harry Potter than fables? You be the judge!
