It seems audaciously presumptuous to expect (‘bestow’ would be too sacerdotal for my liking) God's blessing from the clergy of an apostate denomination as evidenced by its ongoing departure from Scripture, latterly on human sexuality! And to get paid in order to fleece the flock cannot be done with a good conscience! Those who support the sinking Titanic are either ill-taught or wilfully blind, but let God alone be the judge of everyone’s conscience!
Let the Gospel be preached again which calls all men everywhere to repentance and faith in our blessed Lord Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of mankind! It was the message of the apostle Paul, Romans 1:16f., in the context of a decadent society, Romans 1:18ff., now so ‘celebrated’ by large sections of the wider church.
It has been said that ‘when nations perish in their sins, ‘tis in the Church the leprosy begins’. The smell of death has been noticeable for decades, and no amount of incense or pious phraseology can disguise the rot that is offensive to the nostrils of our thrice-holy God!
Scripture warns us of false shepherds / teachers, and perhaps the Church of England could point them out to us, so that we can escape the wrath to come.
Meanwhile, Luke 15:11-32 offers hope to all who want to turn their back on a life of rebellion, and the parable teaches true blessings that God alone can and will, and dare I say it, ‘must’ bestow on all who come to Him when forsaking ‘the dark path of sin’ that leads to everlasting destruction.
