Lesbian bishop: 'Remove crosses from church'
"The world’s first lesbian bishop of a mainstream Christian denomination has put forth a call for one of the country’s seaport churches to remove its crosses, so as to avoid offending Muslims.
Bishop Eva Brunne of the Lutheran Church of Sweden has proposed to remove the Christian symbols of the Seamen’s Church in Freeport to make it more inviting for visiting sailors from other religions, according to a report by SVT.se, a Stockholm-based news outlet."
(Before anybody launches off about removing crosses, even Calvary Chapel avoids their use, for different reasons. But that doesn't change the fact that Christians are to preach Christ crucified - first and foremost.
1Co 1:23
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;The antitheses of Islam.

"Her plan calls for removing crosses and other Christian symbols while setting up a prayer room inside the church that marks the direction of Mecca."

"Sweden has “surrendered without so much as firing a shot,†said Pamela Geller author of “Stop the Islamization of America.â€
“Sweden has lost it,†Geller told WND. “It is sacrificing its own heritage to accommodate immigrants who will not be as accommodating to native non-Muslim Swedes. The bishop is paving the way for the Islamization of Sweden.â€"
"Robert Spencer, an Islam expert and blogger at Jihad Watch, said “this is what a society and culture in the midst of suicide looks like.â€"
“If you think this story sounds too bizarre to be true, then you haven’t acquainted yourself with the progressive ‘utopia’ that is Sweden,†writes Paul Joseph Watson, a U.K.-based writer. “This is a country in which some politicians have called for giving free housing, jobs and welfare to returning ISIS jihadists – all at taxpayer expense.
Sweden is also a country that hires ISIS-sympathizers to run its immigration boards, Watson noted. And the country’s taxpayer-funded “expert†on Islamophobia, Michael Nikolai SkrÃ¥mo, also went on to join ISIS.â€

Any question this highlights the great "falling away" or apostasy the institutional church has ever increasingly raged on in, in earnest for the last 1/2 century or so, particularly now that we are in what Daniel's prophecy termed the "time of the end"?
http://www.christianeschatology.com/falling_away_apostasy.htmRom 1:26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.Is this interfaith pluralism of the institutional "church" a part of the "great whore" described in the book of Revelation?
