For Lent the Church of England Urges Giving Up . . . Plastics

No, this is not satire.  I have not been fooled by a Babylon Bee article.  The Church of England really is encouraging giving up plastics for Lent.

Oh, and look:

The Church of England has created a calendar for a plastics-free Lent, each day bearing either an environmentally-themed Bible verse or a suggestion on how to avoid buying plastics.

Yes, there really is a Church of England calendar for a plastics-free Lent.  See for yourself.

What prompted this move of the . . . some sort of spirit?  Why the EU, of course, as the New York Times reports with a straight face: “In December, the European Union announced binding waste-reduction targets for member nations, with particular emphasis on plastics.”

This reminds me of all the libchurchers pushing the UN’s Millennium Goals just before and after 2000.  Yes, by all means, let the One World establishment set the agenda for the church.


With this cloying clown attempt to abuse Lent to appear with it and “woke,” the Church of England might as well add “Me, too” to the liturgy.
