After publicly endorsing “anti-Whiteness,” an archdeacon of the Church of England has come under fire for being racist.
In a letter on X, the Ven. Miranda Threlfall-Holmes, said, “Last autumn, I attended a symposium on whiteness. That was excellent, really thought-provoking, and helped me see that whiteness is to race what patriarchy is to gender.
“So yeah, let us have anti-Whiteness and let us dismantle the patriarchy,” White Threlfall-Holmes continued. That is anti-oppression, not anti-White or anti-Men.
“Last autumn, I attended a symposium on whiteness. It made me realize that whiteness is to race what patriarchy is to gender. It was excellent and really intriguing. So sure, let us overthrow the patriarchy and practice anti-White sentiment. That is anti-oppression, not anti-White or anti-Men.”
Is being anti-White not anti-White? So, what precisely is it?
“I was involved with a debate about world views, in which ‘whiteness’ was not about skin color but to a way of seeing the world where being white is ‘normal’ and everyone else is considered different or lesser,” Threlfall-Holmes said in response to a question from The Telegraph. “Perhaps this is not the best place for a nuanced argument,” she said.
The retaliation came quickly:
Reconciliation Initiatives, a nonprofit that collaborates with Coventry Cathedral to assist churches in “contributing to reconciliation in broader society,” arranged a day-long “Racial Justice Conference” in Birmingham, which is what The Telegraph reports the Archdeacon is alluding to.
“To urge white attendees to take further steps in acknowledging their own whiteness and in tackling institutional racism inside Anglican churches and provinces,” the report adds, was the conference’s stated goal.
Additionally, a four-week course called “Being White” is being offered by the organization, and it urges clergy and laity participants to think about “the ways we are caught up in a system of white supremacy and white privilege in UK society.”
Recently, the Church of England has come under fire for giving in to this type of thing.
The Diocese of Birmingham is forming a “racial justice unit,” and the church just announced that it will be employing a “deconstructing Whiteness” officer to be a part of it.
The Church of England also created a £100 million fund in 2023 to “address the historical wrongs of slavery,” despite the fact that certain church structures are practically collapsing.
The CofE declared in 2021 that it would be imposing quotas on black and ethnic clergy in order to “contextualize church statues that may cause offense” and to facilitate “anti-racism training” inside the church.
The Council of Evangelical Lutherans (CofE) has become so overtaken by wokery in general that it has contemplated eliminating the word “our Father” from the opening of the Lord’s Prayer and directing clergy not to refer to God using masculine pronouns.
Some churches have even gone so far as to replace mentions of Jesus and the nativity in a Christmas song with a celebration of “queer” individuals.
Even though they supposedly supported same-sex marriage, the Church of England declined to explain what a woman was in July of last year, claiming they did not have one in their records.
Another formal reprimand occurred to a vicar last year when he made a comment on the CofE’s choice to name a transgender archdeacon, stating that the individual is “biologically a bloke.”
