How dare you! I don't trot, I stroll gently. God bless.

Michael Coren is the most obvious sell-out using this process. Their brand lasts for years and they can be trotted out endlessly when needed to undermine conservatives.

Today is the anniversary of the death of my great-uncle who spent 4 years in the Red Army in WW2. Lots of medals, promoted to major. When he got home in late 1945 he found that most of his family had been murdered in the Holocaust. He seldom spoke of it.

I take no position on the monarchy as such, entirely respect those who are royalists, and think King Charles has many qualities. But I do question the place of a king, any earthly king, within a Christian context.

What would Jesus make of the coronation, asks @michaelcoren – suffice to say he would not be flag-waving on the Mall inews.co.uk/opinion/anglic

Because they cherry-pick texts that seem to support their prejudices, usually out of context and often without understanding. For example, the Bible hardly mentions abortion or same-sex relationships - and then ambiguously. It speaks of the poor 2000 times!

Why do so many of the very vocal Christians… Condemn people for falling foul of passages in the bible But completely ignore the one that says a camel has a greater chance of passing through the eye of a needle, than a rich person does of entering heaven?

Privileged and blessed to have served this wonderful group of people for a year. I'm moving on in two weeks but they'll always be in my heart and prayers.

Today we celebrate the final service at St. Elizabeth's Anglican in Burlington. Soaked in prayer and love, it lives on in partnership with Holy Cross as a new, vibrant Christian community. But there will, of course, be mixed emotions. Been an honour to serve.

My ambition is to be one of those people who nod enthusiastically behind politicians when they make banal speeches, whatever the content. MPs and MPPs seem very adept, but activists and campaigners also impress. Are there classes?

Religion school? But I spent so long at Hogwarts!

Except those are not real Catholics but of different religion with zero understanding of Catholicism who need education on God and its rules on sin. They practice lies which are a betrayal to God who need to go back to religion school and both of them and yourself should repent.

Visited someone in hospital. Man in next room shouted that I'd stolen his sausages, tried to get out of bed to fight me. A nurse calmed him. "Was it sausages?" Yes, I replied. "Last week he tried to throw a full bedpan at a rabbi over some stolen cheese."

Actually, she refers to me as Dad The Liberal Heretic. It's lovely! By the way, here's the link to my best-selling book that you wanted. God bless. amazon.ca/Rebel-Christ-M

Lucy’s dad is a liberal heretic, who is anti-truth, & anti-God. He goes away from the true church multiple times (the last time being permanent because of his unBiblical stance on marriage), & joins a dying church (2040 is its death date according to the study done by the ACoC).

Thanks for joining us today, @realsarahpolley! Sarah is an accomplished filmmaker, activist, and actor. She recently won an Oscar for her film—Women Talking! She knows how important arts + film are to our city. I’m so glad to have her support.
