My name is Reverend Anthony McCarthy and I am an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church.br> I'm still at university, and my views aren't fully developed, and I don't want to wind up with lecturers breathing down my neck for information that isn't right.
So - I'm a theology student, in the UK.
I'm also a Christian.
And a liberal (in theology and politics)
This informs my views quite a lot. I dislike extremism, and I hate "bashers".
I go on Christian Chat in yahoo quite a lot - one of my screen names there is kyrie_eleis0n if you want to look me up.
I'm into freedom of choice. So I support "a woman's right to choose." Understand me properly, I don't support abortion per se but I support women to make their own choices. My thoughts on abortion are in Abortion
I'm also puzzled and fascinated by the doctrine of the Bible being the Word of God. I don't understand this, and I don't support it. I don't think the Bible is inerrant nor infallible either. These views are in Bible . I'm presently working on a fuller description of what I think about this, using reference material, which I will upload as soon as possible.
Another of my interests is women's rights. Now, I'm not an ardent feminist, in fact I dislike them a lot. But I am in favour of women minsters and against the wearing of head coverings in church. The best book I ever read on this was "The Bible Doctrine of Womanhood" by Charles Ryder Smith, but I don't know if its out of print. Anyway, my views on this are in Women and head coverings . I also have an 18,000 word thesis on women in the church covering just about everything which starts at Part One
There are also parts on death and a links page .
I hope you enjoy the site.
Please feel free to comment, either in my guestbook, or by email
