Over the weekend 19/20 June there were reports that the CEO of Stonewall, Nancy Kelley, had made a startling comparison. She asserted that those who held the view that gender is biologically fixed and cannot be altered, were akin to those who hold anti-Semitic prejudices.
On Monday I listened to part of a programme on Radio 4 entitled ‘Arctic Dreams’. It expressed deep concerns about the exploitation of the Arctic region (mainly by the Western and/or industrialised nations) which were bringing about irreversible changes to the nature of the planet. The presenter ended by telling us that the Eskimos call us ‘The people who change nature’.
I found it interesting to reflect on these two stories.
About Scott Anderson
Formerly an Anglican priest (ordained 1975) I was received into the Catholic Church in February 2012, and ordained to the Diaconate on 27th July 2013 and on 29th October 2013 was ordained to the priesthood by the Archbishop of Southwark Peter Smith. After a spell in London (Precious Blood, Borough) I became parish priest of Pont Rémy in the Diocese of Amiens, northern France.
I am deeply committed to the Ordinariate as a gift of the Holy Spirit in the search for unity. Like many Ordinariate members I feel a personal gratitude to the late Pope Benedict, together with loyalty to our Holy Father, Pope Leo. My blog tries to make a small contribution to the growth of the Ordinariate by asking questions (and proposing some answers) about the 'Anglican Patrimony'.
I shall be ever grateful for the years in France, a wonderful ending to the years of parish ministry. Back in the UK I am attached, very happily, to the parish of Holy Trinity, Dorchester (HTD) and help out where needed in the Catholic parishes of South Dorset.
