Thanks, Ralph 447
Anglican.ink calls attention to a peculiar remnant of former Anglican missionary activity. It began 300 years ago as a mission to Africa. Now, since Africa is running REAL missions of REAL Christianity to the north, a mission to Africa has no purpose. As per Parkinson, it nevertheless keeps running, finding new purposes. It attempts to carry the Three Horsepersons of the Modern Apocalypse to the benighted Dark masses of Africa.
When you look at the lavender logo of We Are Us, you are immediately trampled by the first Horseperson. Die-Versity in all its omnicidal glory. The current content of the website is mainly focused on the second Horseperson, "Global Warming". The third Horseperson, Free Trade/Migration/Outsourcing, is also there but not dominant.
Fortunately Africans are smarter than Brits. They know the difference between good and evil. WeAreUs is floundering. Until 2012 it was called United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (USPG). In 2012 it rebranded to the lavender Us logo. Now it's returning to the old name, sort of:
During 2015, we undertook some research to discover how our new brand had been received. We learned that, while our partners in Britain and Ireland and around the world greatly appreciated the energy, values and practical work embodied in the Us brand, many remained saddened that we were no longer referring to the gospel in our name. In response, we have decided to move forward with our original name USPG, albeit it in a modernised form; the acronym USPG will now stand for United Society Partners in the Gospel.Can't just return, have to "move forward". The good old Arrow Of History shit, always Evolving toward total ruin and infinite devastation. I can't see why Partners in the Gospel is better than Propagation of the Gospel but presumably Satan has his reasons.
