Why is it that the postmodern liberals are unable to tolerate other points of view? We used to have liberal enquiry. We could agree to disagree, because the truth remains the same. Those days are well and truly over. Most churches and seminaries are being run by thought police.
Yes also many churches. If you consider women's ordination invalid, you are not likely to be even allowed into the job in many denominations. Or find that so called colleagues are willing to rob you of your livelyhood. The same applies if you take the Church's teachings on divorce seriously. Only as short while ago, marrying a divorced person, implied excommunication for the term of one's natural life, if you were not sorry, that is. And at least twenty or thirty years of penance if you were.
These things have changed. Not that long ago the Archbishop of Canterbury married a divorced film actress (with her husband still very much alive) to one of the members of the royal family.
This episode of Bible Time takes you to the world of the New Testament. You will meet with a king and his divorcee wife who create their own truth and seek to silence everyone who disagrees. Read Luke 17:11-19 before you listen to this episode.
