God’s anathema against two bishops

Ex-Bishop G. Robinson, USA

Ex-Bishop C. Senyonjo, Uganda

The Ukrainian Bishops’ Synod (UOGCC), on authority of the apostolic and prophetic office, hereby promulgates God’s anathema against Gene Robinson, Bishop of the Episcopal Church of USA (New Hampshire diocese) as well as against Christopher Senyonjo, Bishop of the Anglican Church in Uganda.

The above-named bishops have excluded themselves from the Church by committing an offence against the faith and morals, i.e. by preaching a different gospel. “If anyone is preaching any other gospel, let him be accursed – anathema sit.” (Gal 1:8-9)

Both ex-bishops not only practise homosexuality but even provoke public outrage among the members of their own Church as well as among Christians all over the world. Moreover, they not only do not call homosexuality an abomination and sin but falsely call it love. This standpoint contradicts the Gospel and the essence of Christianity. It is a new and false teaching.

We repeat: By reason of their obstinacy they have excommunicated themselves from the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church. We just authoritatively make this reality public before God and before Christians of all denominations.

If they will not repent and die in obstinacy, they will be eternally condemned!
