Swedish Lutheran Apostate Church

From today's newspaper:
"
The decision about 'blessing act' is postponed by the Church Leadership

Church of Sweden needs some more time to ponder over how the 'act of blessing' for homosexual couples should be put together.(...)
"There is no doubt whatsoever that the act is going to be introduced. However, we are not quite clear on the final form of it", says archbishop Anders Wejryd, the new president of the Church Board, in a press release.

The very decision that the Church of Sweden is to begin with the act of blessing for homosexual couples who had previously been registered by state was made last autumn. Since then there have been continuous activities in order to formulate instructions for two alternative ceremonial acts. What is left to do now is to put them in form.
"An example is whether to write 'before God' or 'before the Face od God'", says Levi Bergström, the vicepresident of the Church Board.
"

The commentary to this is not mine. Paul does it so much better:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. (2Ti 3:1-9)

P.S. On Slice of Laoidicea I found an appropriate text concerning Sweden.
