![]() The hypocrisy and inconsistency of the ecumenical movement was on display recently in the Cairns Christian Ministers Network (Cairns, Queensland, Australia). (Cairns is pronounced “cans.”) On January 13, the CCMN sent out a statement that they are not supporting the local World Day of Prayer service in March because it is being held in the Mormon church. The announcement stated that “CCMN (corporately and individually) emphatically does not support the beliefs of the Mormon church in any way.” Two days later, the CCMN sent out an announcement promoting the annual Blessing Cairns Service at St. Monica’s Catholic Cathedral. They said, “We believe you will be equally blessed this year. Pastors from across ten denominations are participating this year, witnessing clearly to our city that we truly are one Church.” But they aren’t one. They are keeping the poor Mormons at arm’s length, even though they name the name of Christ. The ecumenical crowd criticizes the “fundamentalists” as judgmental and Pharisaical for testing things by God’s Word, but when they judge the Mormons or Unitarians or whoever, that is alright. Either you separate from heresy, or you don’t. If you can judge some false doctrine, then you can judge all false doctrine. If it is right to judge Mormonism’s false christ and false gospel according to 2 Corinthians 11:4, it is equally right to judge Rome’s “consecrated wafer” christ and her sacramental gospel which begins with baptismal regeneration.
