‘He is for you’: a blessing out of tune?
Dave Brennan
Dave Brennan analyses the popular Christian song, ‘The UK Blessing’.
A synthesiser from one side of the country starts, a piano from another part of the country enters, a message fades into view: ‘Churches from around the UK have come together to sing a blessing over the nation.’ And then amazing vocalists (all on Zoom) representing the likes of ‘Catholic Charismatic’, England and Vineyard Northern Ireland begin:
Bishops bless butchering
Dave Brennan
Not one of the 26 Lords Spiritual spoke up
or voted against the violence to be unleashed
in Northern Ireland.
Westminster has passed a bill without any
opposition
from
the Church of England
bishops that will allow children in Northern
Ireland
to
be
poisoned,
dismembered,
crushed, and beheaded in the womb without
anaesthetic up to 28 weeks for any reason,
making it one of the most barbaric abortion
regimes
in
the world. This Bill
is more
liberal than abortion laws for the rest of the
UK. Abortion is allowed up to 23 weeks
and 6 days, or up to birth where the baby
is shown
to have a medical abnormality, or there is significant risk to the life of the
mother. In 2018, 92% of abortions took
place before week 13 of pregnancy, and 2%
(4,000 abortions) took place after 20 weeks.
