Strange, god loves, those intent on destroying his creation. Seeing as god could not of made a mistake humankind destroying his creation must be part of his plan and we are justified. Hallelujah.

Years ago, I read an article wherein he stated he was an avoid DRUID! How can anyone take him as a serious Christian? I SURE CAN'T!

"It is simply a rather quaint induction. From there on it's a vehicle for assisting the development of the Welsh language and culture and nothing can be wrong with that." After the ceremony Dr Williams said that he had been "saddened" by the misrepresentations that had been made about the ceremony. "I feel very saddened that some people have reached the wrong conclusion about the ceremony," he said. "If people had actually looked at the words of the hymns and text used they would have seen a very Christian service." The Gorsedd's recorder Jams Nicolas has also criticised the "nonsense" surrounding the ceremony. He said yesterday: "A lot of nonsense has appeared in some of the British daily press recently suggesting that the Gorsedd is a pagan organisation. "Nothing could be further from the truth as anything other than the most superficial acquaintance with the Gorsedd's would make crystal clear. "The Gorsedd ceremonies are entirely Christian in tone, Christian hymns are sung and the prayers are made to God." www.theguardian.com/world/2002/aug/05/religion.uk1

What language did he speak?! I couldn’t understand a word. There’s nothing between us and god! Jesus is in everyone and everything! What religion is this? He looks highly educated but seems struggling to convey or communicate his message!

Christ in me, the Hope of Glory. Christ in me, the Word made Flesh, Christ in me, The Christ in me who died for you and me, when we yet sinners, The Christ in me who prayed His Father, not the Our Father, which he taught the Disciples to pray, but now is repeated bereft of its meaning in context, but John chapter 17 which is His Prayer, and in no uncertain terms calls for the Oneness of the Body of Christ which Rev. Williams is preaching about. If this call upon our lives had been and obeyed, the divisions of the Body of Christ wd have not taken place. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, not Peter. The letter to the Colossians brings out this Truth and if we had obeyed His Voice instead of the myths of any Church who claims to be the truth, the world we wd have been the harmonious world which Rev. Williams is inviting us to embrace. It is the Christ Who is Universal, the Jesus Christ who loved you and me long before we were born as described in Psalm 139. Then, no guns and bombs would have destroyed the world, as it is politicians who are manipulating the destinies of human beings , playing petty gods in the life of God's Own Creation. The letters to the Romans describe the travesty of " Christians" who never took our LORD at His Word. He died for a suffering humanity, and that is the LORD of Life, we love and reverence and Worship not the god of the Prosperity gospel. It is with immense pain of mind, seeing the aftermath of the earthquakes, the flooding, the disasters and the cruelty of the warmongers who produce weapons which leave humongous amounts of Refugees all over the world that as a human being i pen these words. We who call ourselves Christians are being called to responsibility and accountability by our Creator. And if we cannot Love our neighbour and afford him the dignity and respect of another Creation of our Creator, we seriously need to rethink our own convictions. After all the authentic followers followed The Way, as they followed the Way of the Cross, the Way Jesus Christ wholived in poverty and humility? Yes these are the very people who God loves the people of the Beatitudes. And it is here that there is HOPE for the whole of Creation, in the Universal Christ, The Christ Whom Rev. Rowan is referring to. God Bless you.
