A prayer event to bring about the ‘next great spiritual awakening’ in the Bahamas

THE GLUE ministry is calling on Bahamians to join them next weekend for a special prayer, praise and worship outreach event to help combat a "general spirit of unease" found in the country today.

It is scheduled for Saturday, September 30, at the Eastern Parade Park on Dowdeswell Street from 12noon to 8pm.

“Our nation is predominantly committed to the principles of the Christian faith, and this is why we seek God’s coverage of our children, leaders, parents, and youth,” said GLUE Director Franklyn Miller.

“God admonishes us to pray without ceasing. Moreover, we operate in our authority to intercede for one another including our spiritual, personal, financial, health and national challenges. And we await positive manifestation as we intercede.”

Nationally, Mr Miller said, the Bahamas is “challenged with child abuse, escalating murder rates, teenage pregnancy, the glorification

of recreational drugs, the demise of love for family, increased divorces, leadership apathy, limited father engagement in their children's lives, and a general

spirit of unease when looking to the future.”

However, he said people should remember what the Bible says in Isaiah 59:19: “When

the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”

That standard, said Mr Miller, is Jesus.

“GLUE is committed to using the unfathomable power of prayer, praise, and worship to bring comfort, encouragement, healing, and victory to our communities and our nation. We encourage all to pray extraordinarily for the next great spiritual awakening in this country,” he said.

During next Saturday’s outreach event, he said, “we will unite in prayer; together we can make a grave difference by mobilising unified public prayer for our Bahamaland.”

“Prayer is always the most important thing we can apply to our lives. To this end, we thank our spiritual, political and civic leaders for praying with us for the Bahamas' spiritual, domestic, political and social direction in accomplishing God's will in our country, region, and the world,” he said.

Catholic priests bless same-sex couples in defiance of a German archbishop

By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER Associated Press

SEVERAL Catholic priests held a ceremony blessing same-sex couples outside Cologne Cathedral on Wednesday night in a protest against the city’s conservative archbishop, Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki.

Their protest was triggered by Cologne church officials' criticism of a priest from Mettmann, a town near Duesseldorf, who in March had held a “blessing ceremony for lovers” — including samesex couples.

Officials from the Cologne archdiocese, which Mettmann belongs to, had reprimanded the priest afterward and stressed that the Vatican doesn't allow blessings of same-sex couples, German news agency dpa reported.

The blessing of samesex couples on Wednesday was the latest sign of rebellion of progressive believers in Germany's most populous diocese with about 1.8 million members.

Several hundred people showed up for the outdoor blessing service for samesex and also heterosexual couples. Waving rainbow flags, they sang the Beatles hit “All You Need Is Love,” dpa reported. A total of about 30 couples were blessed.

The German government’s LGBTQ+ commissioner called the service an important symbol for the demand to recognize and accept same-sex couples in the Roman Catholic Church.

“It is mainly thanks to the church’s grassroots that the church is opening up more and more,” Sven Lehmann said, according

to dpa. “Archbishop Woelki and the Vatican, on the other hand, are light years behind social reality.”

Catholic believers in the Cologne archdiocese have long protested their deeply divisive archbishop and have been leaving in droves over allegations that he may have covered up clergy sexual abuse reports.

The crisis of confidence began in 2020, when Woelki, citing legal concerns, kept under wraps a report he commissioned on how local church officials reacted when priests were accused of sexual abuse. That infuriated many Cologne Catholics. A second report, published in March 2021, found 75 cases in which high-ranking officials neglected their duties.

The report absolved Woelki of any neglect of his legal duty with respect to abuse victims. He subsequently said he made mistakes in past cases involving sexual abuse allegations, but insisted he had no intention of resigning.

Two papal envoys were dispatched to Cologne a few months later to investigate possible mistakes by senior officials in handling cases. Their report led Pope Francis to give Woelki a “ spiritual timeout ” of several months for making major communication errors.

In March 2022, after his return from the timeout, the cardinal submitted an offer to resign, but so far Francis hasn't acted on it.

Germany's many progressive Catholics have also been at odds with the Vatican for a long time.

Several years ago, Germany’s Catholic Church launched a reform process with the country’s

influential lay group to respond to the clergy sexual abuse scandals, after a report in 2018 found at least 3,677 people were abused by clergy between 1946 and 2014. The report found that the crimes were systematically covered up

by church leaders and that there were structural problems in the way power was exercised that “favoured sexual abuse of minors or made preventing it more difficult.”

The Vatican, however, has tried to put the brakes on the German church's

controversial reform process, fearing proposals concerning gay people, women and sexual morals will split the church.

On Wednesday night, just across from the hundreds of believers celebrating the blessings of same-sex couples, there

were also about a dozen Catholics who demonstrated against the outdoor service, dpa reported. They held up a banner that said “Let's stay Catholic.”
