When did this rot set in?

The machine I belong to is in a dire state of disrepair it is sad to be a cog and to see parts of the machine falling apart and proclaiming a message which is so contrary to that which we should be. Instead of a clear and concise message that Jesus Christ is God Incarnate the  Anglican Church in Aotaeroa New Zealand and Polynesia has had it's message hi-jacked by the clerics at St Matthew in the City (Diocese of Auckland) and is issuing forth bizarre and confusing messages about the sexuality of the Christ Child.

The vibrant life giving parts of the machine are few and far between, a handful of parishes in each of the seven Pakeha Dioceses are full. Most have become memorials to the past, full of old brass plaques which say "Mr and Mrs Simkins gave this lovely tea trolley" or "Dedicated to the glory of God at the passing of Mrs. Miggins Cat". Those old brass plaques don't speak of the future and it makes me weep.

I am a small, and fairly new cog in this machine, I wonder when it was that this rot, which we call 'the liberal agenda' set in. How has it come to pass that these ideas which are contrary to the doctrine of this Church (the Anglican Church in Aotaeroa New Zealand and Polynesia) are accepted and promoted?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
