While other denominations are more hard-left than the Anglicans, it remains true that the Anglican Church continues to occupy a special level of dumb within the Christian fold. So we have an Anglican Church in England apologizing for hosting a fashion show featuring outfits and paraphernalia of a uniquely Satanic and anti-Christian flavor.
Now, for my money, the big scandal here is that it used its church to host a fashion show in the first place. The fact that it was Satanic or not is incidental. Once again, it shows the relative spinelessness that happens to churches and denominations once they throw their lot in with any worldly movement, right or left. Eventually, they're wanting to host gun shows, fashion shows, porn festivals, or anything under the sun.
If you've committed yourself to being liked and affirmed by your new ideological buddies, then chances are you've come to the point of acquiescing when the buddy asks for a new favor, no matter how ludicrous or dangerous that favor happens to be. Again, it can be any movement, right or left. But just as merging the Church with Americana was a particularly subtle temptation decades ago, so compromising with the dominant progressive movement today holds particular dangers for the churches going in that direction.
