The Book of Revelation speaks of the Devil being vanquished and cast into a pit of fire and brimstone at the end of the world.

 

But the Church of England has consigned Satan to a decidedly less dramatic fate – being quietly designated as an optional extra.

Instead of requiring an apocalyptic battle between the forces of good and evil, the move was approved in a polite show of hands at the Church’s decision making body, the General Synod, which has been meeting in Westminster.

 

Members voted to approve a new alternative baptism liturgy with all references to the Devil removed as part of a drive to make services “accessible” to those unused to attending church.

 

Following a consultation process, a committee of liturgical experts ruled that the inclusion of Satan as “personified evil” was “unhelpful” as it was likely to be “misunderstood” by young people.

 

Female priests and bishops, and now this. Really, is more proof needed that the Anglican Church is not guided by God whatsoever?

This is way not cool! Jesus said that in the last days men and women would give heed to seducing spirits.
