The International Eucharistic Congress 2012. Is this a Christian event?

What a critic has to say of our report on Ballymena Ecumenical service

Free Presbyterians attend Ballymena ecumenical service for Queen’s Jubilee

…But what was most heart-breaking for many was the attendance at the service of Dr Ian and Mrs Paisley. The man, who for many Christians, was an instructor in righteousness and a guide on the solemn issues of separation from ecumenical apostasy, sat through a service in which a Romanist priest led the congregation in prayer and the Church of Ireland Bishop of Connor, among other things, prayed for the dead!

Among those political figures who attended were Mr. Ian Paisley Jr., MP and his wife, Mr. Mervyn Storey and his wife. Mr. Storey is an elder in Ballymoney Free Presbyterian Church. The Mayor of Ballymena was also in attendance and participated in the service. He attends Ballymena Free Presbyterian Church. Other DUP councillors from a number of District Councils were also in attendance. Read more…

The Resurgence of Sodom and the Response of God’s people

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed,” Luke 17:28-30.

Within the last 25 years society has undergone a marked change of attitude toward what heretofore was regarded as a gross iniquity, an abominable practice, a crime worthy of imprisonment. I am referring to sodomy. The word of God describes the practice in the clearest of terms even though many clerics and church leaders are at pains to suggest that God has not spoken on the matter in a manner that leaves its heinousness beyond doubt…There is hardly a denomination within our Province but has manifested a change of attitude, a weakening of its opposition, including our own Free Presbyterian Church.
