Who is Chris Bryant? New NI Secretary is gay former priest, anti-hacking crusader, and survivor of sexual abuse and cancer

Sir Chris John Bryant, British politician and former Anglican priest, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (2026)

AND YOU THOUGHT THINGS COULD NOT GET WORSE!!

The DUP leader, Gavin Robinson told the ‘London Evening Standard’ when speaking to reporters at CS Lewis Square in east Belfast, that he had “many exchanges” with the Rhondda and Ogmore MP, Sir Chris Bryant, described him as “good fun”.

What a ludicrous description of a man described by the ‘Belfast Telegraph’ as a a former ‘gay’ Anglican priest!

It is clear that the DUP and its leadership has lost all contact with the moral code of God’s Law!!

Sincerely in Christ’s name,

Preaching the Gospel, even when mistreated by the world

“‭And‭ they departed‭‭‭ from‭ the presence‭ of the council‭, rejoicing‭‭ that‭ they were counted worthy‭‭ to suffer shame‭‭ for‭ his‭ name‭.‭ ‭And‭ daily‭‭ in‭ the temple‭, and‭ in every‭ house‭, they ceased‭‭ not‭ to teach‭‭ and‭ preach‭‭ Jesus‭ Christ‭,” Acts 5:41-42.

An open air meeting took place in the common area of Kilskeery after the Sunday evening service. These are generally held during the summer and early fall months when the weather is conducive.

This meeting was conducted by Rev. Ivan Foster (Rtd).

Ezekiel: The ignored watchman

A series of messages by Rev. Andy Foster Ezekiel was God’s watchman to the nation of Israel. In the first part of his ministry he warned of the sin of the nation and highlighted the consequences it had brought, and would continue to bring. He was largely ignored and dismissed.

In the second part of his ministry he proclaims messages related to the glorious future of the nation of Israel, restored by grace and redemption. Sadly, these messages are still often neglected and overlooked!

Why I have closed my account with SermonAudio
As of 30th May, 2017, I have requested that SermonAudio close my account. That has taken place and I no longer mount sermons there. Instead, my own website The Burning Bush will now house all my sermons. It has long been the home of my articles and news links. Gradually we will mount the 1376 messages I had on SermonAudio on my own site.
