“They’re effectively operating as a church within a church.”
No, they’re operating a mosque within a church. A mosque is not the same thing as a church. In a mosque, those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God are said to be cursed by Allah (cf. Qur’an 9:30), and the obligation is preached to make war against and subjugate such people (Qur’an 9:29).
Meanwhile, where is this gesture being reciprocated? Right, nowhere. Nowhere in the world is there a church operating inside a mosque as a result of the hospitality of Muslims. Once again, the “outreach” goes only one way.
“Little mosque in an Anglican church,” by Aaron Hutchins, Macleans, September 25, 2017:
The first time Rev. Andrew Wilson heard about a group of Muslims renting out a prayer space inside an Anglican church, it was the storyline for the TV sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie. It was there in the fictional town of Mercy, Sask., where the local Muslim community grew large enough that it needed its own space for worship. A church in the neighbourhood was willing to rent space to the newcomers—even if the idea irked a minority of Islam-fearing locals.
But the town grew together as the show lasted a solid six seasons, with the series finale broadcasting in 2012. Then, a few years later, Wilson saw something strikingly similar taking place in his real-life hometown of Leamington, Ont. The federal government had designated the city, located at the western end of Lake Erie (the heart of tomato country), as one of three municipalities across Canada that would start accepting government-assisted Syrian refugees. The region’s once-small Muslim community soon needed a bigger place for worship than the cramped office space it had been using.
One of the local Muslim leaders called Wilson, rector at St. John the Evangelist, to see if they could rent out space in the basement of his Anglican church. After consulting with his parish council and bishop, Wilson obliged. “In the same way the communities grew together [on the show], that’s literally what happened here,” Wilson says. “They’re effectively operating as a church within a church.”…
david Cameron says
Allah is known in the Bible as Baal to whom his followers sacrificed their babies by burning them alive. If you want to know what God thinks of Baal worshipers, read the old testament where it is obvious what God would think about worshiping Baal in his church. I suspect that Anglican minister may regret that stupidity for eternity.

mortimer says
Agree with b.kelly. These clergy are CULPABLY NEGLIGENT and too lazy to learn the ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES OF ISLAM which mandate WARFARE AGAINST DISBELIEVERS.
Any cordiality towards the dirty KUFAAR is predicated on the opportunism of Islam, rather than on a requirement of Islam such as the Golden Rule of Christianity…which is reversed in Islam by Koran 48.29:
“…those who follow (Mohammed) are VIOLENT towards the kafirs, but compassionate between themselves.”
John S. Obeda says
Are those Leamington Islamists and those Leamington Christians being “yoked together?” It’s a question for me, for us. Perhaps so. If it were reversed, the Muslims would consider their premises to be desecrated by the Christians.
Here’s what the apostle Paul writes: “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common. Or what fellowship can light have with darkness. What harmony is there between Christ and Belial. What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever. What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols. ( 2 Corinthians 6:14-16NIV)
(Note: my typewriter refuses to print the question marks).
It would be good for the Anglican people to take this opportunity and study the Quran. And maybe the imam would take the opportunity to sit at the feet of the priest and be instructed in what the Truth (Jesus) teaches. But fat chance for that.
I am sure the Canadian attitude is: Oh, how very nice! Maybe they will even now worship together. After all, according to the R.C. Church, the Islamists worship the same god as the Christians do according to the 1964 document Lumen Gentium.
Rob says
Not only do these “Christian” clergymen not know the fundamentals of Islam, they also do not appear to know some fundamentals of Christianity either!! This kumbaya letting of a Christian sanctuary for Islamic worship violates the Commandment “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me”.
Kepha says
Before these clergy are culpably negligent in learning the doctrines of Islam, they are culpably and heretically negligent in learning the doctrines of Christianity and despising its Scriptures. Jesus ordered us to make disciples of the nations, not to learn their idolatries (and Islam is an idolatry with a mental rather than metal “graven image”).

Rob Porter says
Well said, David Cameron. Canadian naivety and ignorance of Islam is a wonder to behold. It’s Canadian ‘tolerance’ you see. Satan is now worshipped in this church and Christians reviled, but never to worry, all is well. Why the devil don’t more non-Muslims wake up and simply read the Qur’an, or would that be Islamophobic?
Kepha says
Speaking as a citizen of the USA, I can’t say that the naivety and ignorance of our northern neighbors is any worse or more destructive than the same naivety and ignorance infecting too many of the supposedly ejjikated folks in our own country. We’ve tried to live down our racist heritage way too much, and have reached the point where we’re so open-minded that we let our brains fall out of our heads.
Aaron says
David Cameron when you say things as ignorant as “Allah is known as Baal in the Bible” then you are actually hurting the counter-jihad cause. Islam is plainly demonic enough without manufacturing facts that demonstrate one to be ignorant of both Hebrew Biblical culture and Arabic.
I encourage you to learn actual facts about both Biblical Israel and Islam so that when you speak to the issue of the intrinsic evilness of Islam you can do so intelligently.

Islam is the only one that is very bad, and regressive that has had the lasting staying power over the last 1400 years. Would you embrace a very large bear hoping he would love you in return understand you meant him no harm ? Or would you understand a bear has no understanding of you as a loving person. A bear sees you as food or an threat that should be killed or removed? That what Islam sees Christianity to be a person Christianity the person of love, Islam the bear . It is better Christianity to be feared and respected by the bear, then to be seen weak by the bear.
samdav7 says
Islam’s God is called Allah .. and Allah is Satan himself ( has been proved historically, theologically and scientifically ) .. ALLAHO AKBAR means our God is bigger than yours ! .. therefor you must be killed who ever you are ! .. your religion is irrelevant .. If you’re not Muslim you MUST be killed ! .. and that’s the main doctrine of Islam .. and it MUST be taught to all Muslims since their early childhood .. that’s the only thing that their God Satan loves them to do ! ,, and if they do .. they’ll be rewarded with 72 virgin prostitutes in their heaven purely for sex .. and everyone of these prostitutes has 72 virgin maids purely for sex .. so we’re talking about 5,184 virgin prostitutes purely for sex every single day .. and their God is sitting out there with a stitching machine mending the hymen of every single prostitute after she’s been raped .. so when it’s her turn to be raped again the next round .. she’s absolutely virgin !

I suspect that neither Rev. Andrew Wilson nor his bishop know the Islamic doctrine of sacred prevarication called TAQIYYA, but they will soon be inundated with it. Former sheikh Sam Solomon said, “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…”
Rev. Andrew Wilson appear his bishop appear to be as unacquainted with taqiyya, dhimmitude and jihad as children in first grade are unacquainted with trigonometry.
I have two quotes for Wilson and his bishop:
1) Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
2) The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
John S. Obeda says
Thank you Mortimer for all the information. Let us listen to what pastor Mark Durie writes, “Churches should not welcome into their buildings the veneration of Isa the Islamic Jesus, who, as a true Muslim, is intended to bring about the final, violent destruction of Christianity. By all means, let Christians show kindness to their Muslim neighbors, but the sentiments embedded in Islamic daily prayers, which curse Jews as the target of Allah’s wrath and Christians for going astray, can have no place in a Christian church – even if recited in the cadences of classical Arabic.”

Canada: Mosque operating inside an Anglican church
…………………
Of course, the naifs at St. John the Evangelist don’t realize that their Church is now a Mosque under Islamic law–although these Muslims may not be able to act on that for a few years–after all, Canada is still technically an Infidel nation.
In the meantime, Muslims will be cursing Christians and Jews, and also may be plotting violent Jihad.
What fools these dhimmis be!
Jen L. Jones says
There’s so much wrong with this arrangement that it’s hard to know where to start. The original article in Maclean’s fleshes out the story so that the reader gets to know details such as the fact that Christian symbols have been removed from the Muslim prayer room, the fact that the Anglican priest prays there too, on his knees in Muslim fashion, and even that the service runs with an efficiency” that many Christian congregations “can only dream of.” (Perhaps the writer didn’t consider the fact that regimentation and blind submission do tend to make things flow more smoothly.) The Maclean’s article also tells us that the Muslim room is equipped with a partition “should women wish to worship too.” Apparently on the day of the writer’s visit no women chose to do so. (Perhaps the gender inequality inherent in Islam is a factor here? The writer however didn’t choose to pursue this idea.)
So, the picture this all paints is of a Christian priest, praying in the fashion of another (hostile and supremacist) religion, in a room in his own church from which all symbols of his faith, and the faith of his parishioners, have been eliminated, a room in which there is segregation of females, who are always relegated to inferior status by this other religion. And this priest admits that he joins in the prayers although they are in Arabic which he doesn’t understand. But it’s all OK apparently, for according to him, it’s the same God.
This priest’s knowledge of Islam is superficial, and his enthusiastic promotion of it is both troubling and a betrayal of his own religion.
gravenimage says
Jen, I had missed the part about the foolish Anglican praying ass-up, Muslim-style. *Ugh*.
The fact that he is allowing forced gender segregated worship in his Church is also appalling.
John S. Obeda says
Evidently, the priest’s knowledge of the Bible is also very weak: See 2 Corinthians 6:14-16.. It’s quoted up above. I would certainly look for a more faithful church were my pastor dare to worship with Belial, satan.

mortimer says
St.John’s Leamington is a triumph of religious illiteracy. The Anglican theologian Rev. Mark Durie, PhD has asked clergy to stop opening churches to Muslims for theological reasons. Firstly, Islamic prayers cursing Christians and Jews have no place in a Christian chapel. Rev. Durie has said, “…the elites of Europe (have) embarked on decades of religiously illiterate appeasement and denialism.”
A prominent element in Islamic daily prayers is the recitation of Al-Fatihah (the Opening), the first chapter of the Koran. Often described as a blessing, Al-Fatihah has a sting in its tail. After introductory praises, the final sentence of Al-Fatihah is a request for guidance “in the straight path” of Allah’s blessed ones, not the path “of those against whom You are wrathful, nor of those who are astray.”
Muslims venerate Jesus, but as a Muslim prophet. In the pages of the Koran, the disciples of the Muslim Jesus declare, “We are Muslims” (Sura 5:111). The Islamic Jesus is not the Christian Son of God, the divine suffering Savior who died on the cross for the sins of the world.
Certainly there are some similarities between Isa of the Koran and Jesus of the Gospels. The Koran calls Jesus “al-Masih” – the Messiah – and both figures are said to have been born of a virgin, to have performed miracles of healing and to have raised the dead. Yet here the similarities end. Isa of the Koran was not crucified and did not die but was raised up by Allah (Sura 4:157-158).
It is in Muhammad’s vision of the end times that the role of the Muslim Jesus comes into sharp focus. Muhammad taught that when Isa returns, he “will fight for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill pigs, and abolish the poll tax. Allah will destroy all religions except Islam” (Sunan Abu Dawud 27:4310).
What does this saying mean? The cross is a symbol of Christianity. Breaking the cross means abolishing Christianity. According to Islamic law, the poll tax, or jizya, buys protection of the lives and property of Christians (and Jews). Abolishing this tax will mean that jihad will be restarted against Christians and no more protection shall be afforded to those who do not submit to Islam.
The Egyptian jurist Ahmad ibn Naqib stated in his compendium of Shariah, “The Reliance of the Traveller,” that the toleration of Christians living under Islamic law only applies “before the final descent of Jesus. … After his final coming, nothing but Islam will be accepted from them, for taking the poll tax is only effective until Jesus’ descent … for he will rule by the law of Muhammad … as a follower of our Prophet” (translation by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, pages 603-4).
In this end-times scenario, the Islamic Jesus becomes the ultimate destroyer of Christianity, when, by his sword, he compels all followers of the Christ of the Gospels to become Muslims and live in accordance with the Shariah of Muhammad.
Churches should not welcome into their buildings the veneration of Isa the Islamic Jesus, who, as a true Muslim, is intended to bring about the final, violent destruction of Christianity. By all means, let Christians show kindness to their Muslim neighbors, but the sentiments embedded in Islamic daily prayers, which curse Jews as the target of Allah’s wrath and Christians for going astray, can have no place in a Christian church – even if recited in the cadences of classical Arabic.
Rev. Mark Durie, an Anglican priest, is the author of “Revelation: Do We Worship the Same God?”(City Harvest International, 2010) and “The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom” (Deror Books, 2010).

Good post, Mortimer.
I wonder about leftists says
I am really amazed how dum people are. I am sorry to say. Don’t people know by now that Islam muslims work from within. Like the priest, you give a muslim a finger, he does not take your whole hand, but takes everything from and you don’t get anything back, may be your life, if you don whatever they dictate you.
It must be that normal people are drugged or something, something must be behind this all.
And I must say, the muslims know exactly how to work and put terror in everybody. You can not trust any of them with all their beautiful talk about peace and smiling. It is amazing. The Anglican church will be no more, slowly but very surely.
Finally the Norvegians are getting the picture, that is crazy, doesn’t anybody see the truth. You are conquered and Sharia will be your destiny and you let more and more in.
Then some worrisome messages get in about Fema camps come in and Agenda 21. Have you seen the beheadings? And still pretending danger does not exist, you leftists, are you out of your mind?. We are getting totally terrorised and I must say, they are much more smarter then we are, but you let it all happen. I am thrown of from video’s and don’t know what else by Word Fence. We don’t have freedom of speechI am getting edited by the editor of Word Fence “who finds that I surf to much on those video’s of how bad Muslims behave. It’s either we become a caliphate or we become slaves under Agenda 21, but in the end it is not going to happen.
If we don’t unite I know what will happen…. and so do you. Good luck.

I would not be surprised if this hasn’t happened in the U.S.. The visitors will use the church buiding until the money arrives for the million dollar mosque, and the city approves they construction with permits to build without reservations since that would be illegal in Canada. M-103 will silence criticism of Islam and back it up with jail time. I just hope they don’t take the Christians with them, In the mean time the Reverend should get a copy of the Quran and read it. But whether he’ll be able to communicate his shock and concerns at a latter date…without being arrested, time will tell. A mosque is no church.

In OT times when the children of Israel invited foreign gods in to their society, YHWH God allowed them to reap what they were sowing and captivity was the result.

The Quran and the Bible (new testament) are so far apart.
Satan has been challenging God since Adam and Eve. Satan’s power is to trick the human’s mind to over power God. The Quran is a book full of contradictions, on one hand it praises Jesus, Christians and the Jews (people of the book) and on the other it undermines Jesus and calls Christians and Jews infidels.
The Church is considered as God’s house. Many churches around the world have been converted into mosques for centuries now and if not converted, mosques are being built next door to churches. I see this as form of Satan’s challenge strategy.

The capitulation to Islam by the Christian church, including the upstart false pope, is mind boggling.

Walter Sieruk says
What a totally ignorant man that Anglican priest is. for allowing Islamic infiltration into his church. This priest must be a false”Christian.”
For the scholar as well as author, Nabeel Qureshi of the book entitled ANSWERING JIHAD who in the past was a Muslim but now a Christian had explained clearly that god of Islam is not the God of the Bible. For on page 113 in his book he informs the reader that “Islam roundly condemns worship of the Trinity [5:73], establishing in contrast its own core principle of Tawhid, the absolute oneness of God. Tawhid emphatically denies the Trinity; so much that it is safe to say the doctrine of God in Islam is antithetical to the doctrine of God in Christianity. Not just different but opposed.” Further on page 116 he elaborates that “Tawhid is antithetical to the Trinity, fundamentally incompatible and only similar superficially and semantically, Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God.” Therefore it’s fitting then to make a reiteration of the following essay on this very important subject.
There are a number of apologists for Islam, some are imams and mullahs and strangely enough, even some so called “Christian” men ,as that priest have made the outstanding claim that Christians and Muslim both believe in and worship the same God. So it stands to reason that it’s important to know if this claims valid and true or invalid and false. The facts are that the god of Islam or the Muslims is a single being. In great contrast the God of Christianity, of the Christians consists as the Trinity. By the Trinity it means that “Within the essence of the one True God there are Three Persons. Being God the Father. God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Not three gods in one But Three Distinct Persons in One God. Being the Tri-Personal Nature of God, Matthew 3:13-17. Second Corinthians 13:14. . The Bible teaches, the Father is God, Galatians 1:1.The Son is God, First John 5:20. The Holy Spirit is God, Acts 5:3,4. Not three gods but the one and only Triune God.
As further explained in the Christian book MAJOR BIBLE THEMES by Lewis Sperry Chafer on page 39 which informs the readers that “Many believe that the doctrine of the Trinity in implicit in the use of the word Elohim, as the name of God which is in a plural form and seems to refer to the Triune God. “ Likewise, in the Christian magazine PERHAPS TODAY November/December 2013 on page 8 it reads about Genesis 1:1. “In the beginning God [this is the plural noun Elohim, meaning ‘more than one’] created the heaven and the earth.” Furthermore, a bit of a view of the inner workings of the Trinity together may be seen in that the God the Father raised Jesus from the dead. Romans 10:9,10. Jesus raised Himself from the dead, John 2:19,20. The Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead, Romans 8:11.The inner-workings of the Trinity of God may also be seen in the fact that the Father sanctifies, First Thessalonians 5:23. The Son sanctifies, Ephesians 5:26. Hebrews 2:11; 9:12,14;13:12.The Holy Spirit sanctifies ,Romans 15:16. Second Thessalonians 2:13. Getting back to the Bible book of Genesis. In Genesis 1:26 in reads “The God said let US make man in Our image , according to our likeness…” The words are the plural “Us” and “Our.” As in “We the Trinity” For the very next verse, 27, it further reads “So God created man in His own image…” In verse 26 it’s the plural “Us” and “Our” to the singular “His” That is Three Persons in One God. In addition, in the New Testament in Matthew 28:19 It further reads the Jesus said “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the the Son and the Holy Spirit.” [N.K.J.V] That is “name” not “names.” In conclusion the many apologists and propagandists for Islam for Islam who make the claim that Christians and Muslims believe in and worship the same God are make an untrue and outright false claim. For the God of Christianity, Christians and the Bible is not the god of Islam Muslims and the Koran.

No wonder the Anglican Church of Canada is losing members at a rapid rate.
Within a few decades there won’t be enough Anglicans In Canada to maintain this church and it will likely be a mosque with no Christians allowed.
Aaron says
What makes you believe that Christians wouldn’t be allowed in a Mosque? It doesn’t work quite like that. When Islam is dominant they can present a very friendly face to the world. Islam might be an ideology that accepts the use of political violence, but they are still more interested in converting you peacefully if possible…. now maybe after a period of time if you refused their aggressive attempts to convert you then you might start to feel unwelcome, but believe me any Mosque would be happy to invite Christians in to pray with them…. One thing that we always have to remember when we think of Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Turkey is that there were all once areas populated by Christians and are only Islamic today because of conversion, not all of it violent. In other words, they didn’t just kill all the Christians and take their lands, they first assumed political power and then they converted the populations of these areas through political and economic pressure.

Being angry at (“hateful” towards) criminals is the most vile sin, while pitying (“tolerating”) them is the highest moral virtue, these days!
Oh, wait – that’s boilerplate Christianity anyway!
Never Mind! Carry on as you were LOL!

Well, let’s also be honest here and admit that an Anglican “Church” isn’t really an actual church in the first place. A Church is the assembly of persons held in communion through the Eucharist. For a Muslim to convert a Protestant building into a Mosques is not that much of a further stretch. Just because Protestants may be ideologically aligned against Islam doesn’t make them suitable allies for this spiritual war…. Satan is very clever, and in the end, Protestantism is a back door to secularism, which in turn is a back door to Islam.

Jesus did not suggest inviting Satan into the church.

This is why I left the Anglican Church, they have completely lost it, C.S.lewis wrote about this in the 40’s and 50’s and he has been proven 100% correct. We the Snow Flake minister does not realize this building is now a mosque for eternity.

As a favour and consolation, he’ll likely be the last one beheaded. ? I’d go into a theological discussion but that would be pointless.
