Into The Polar Night

Conscience be damned!

The Church of Iceland has scrapped its freedom of conscience clause, ending the right of clergy to refuse to solemnize same-sex marriages. The resolution introduced by the Rev. Guðrún Karls Helgudóttir overturned a 2007 statement by the annual Church Council, the Kirkjuþing, that held the “freedom of clergy in these matters must be respected”. However Ms. Helgudóttir argued that it was now time“take things the whole way and place no limits on human rights.” The conflict between religious freedom and human rights must always be decided in favor of human rights, she argued. As state employees Church of Iceland clergy should not be allowed to place their conscience above the law. On 28 Oct 2015 the 29-member Kirkjuþing endorsed the resolution.

Safety first!

Religion ... destroyed. Education ... destroyed.
Next stop: final destination. Everyone out!

    Not good. Have you taken this to the Lord in prayer?

    "Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil before the eyes of the Enemy!" (see above).
