[Vision2020] Trinity Festival protest

[g. crabtree]

Mr. Schou fatuously claims:

 "Men haven't sufficiently oppressed women; therefore, God judges us by 
making men's sons effeminate."

This is so at odds with what has been laid down in print that I'm afraid 
what little credibility you may have had (and admittedly it wasn't very 
much) is completely out the window. In C/A In the article "Owning the Curse: 
Rethinking Same Sex Marriage' by Douglas Wilson And Douglas Jones it 
specifically states that the core failure leading to the problem is "the 
failure of neglectful/domineering fathers and husbands." In the same 
treatise in the following paragraph it states "The calling of Christian men 
is to be godly husbands and fathers, within the family and within the 
Church."

Another case of say anything, say it often and hope the lie will stick. 
Today it won't.
