Leading clerics in the Church of England<\/a> declined to comment on the recent sermon at Trinity College, Cambridge, that stoked international backlash for speaking of the “trans body” of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Rev. Dr. Michael Banner, who serves as the dean of Trinity College, recently came to the defense of Joshua Heath, a junior research fellow at the University of Cambridge who proclaimed from the pulpit of Trinity College chapel during an Evensong service that non-erotic portrayals of Jesus’ penis in historical art “urge a welcoming rather than hostile response toward the raised voices of trans people.”<\/p>\n

“In Christ’s simultaneously masculine and feminine body in these works, if the body of Christ as these works suggest [is] the body of all bodies, then his body is also the trans body,” Heath said on Nov. 20, according to the Daily Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n

Neither the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who is the ceremonial head of the worldwide Anglican Communion nor the Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell, its second-ranking cleric, condemned or otherwise commented on the controversial sermon that also likened the wound in Jesus’ side to a vagina.<\/p>\n

CAMBRIDGE DEAN DEFENDS SERMON ABOUT JESUS’ \u2018TRANS BODY,\u2019 \u2018VAGINAL\u2019 SIDE WOUND BLASTED AS \u2018HERESY\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m afraid the Archbishop is traveling at the moment and is not available for comment,” a spokesperson for Welby told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Welby’s office directed Fox News Digital to reach out to the Church of England’s press office, which did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Cottrell told Fox News Digital that “Archbishop Stephen has no comment to offer on this.”<\/p>\n

Heath, whose doctorate in theology was supervised by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, claimed in his sermon that in one of the medieval paintings he displayed to the congregation, the spear wound in Jesus’ side “takes on a decidedly vaginal appearance.” In another, he pointed out how the blood from his side flows to his groin.<\/p>\n

Williams, who served as the highest-ranking Anglican cleric from 2002 until Welby took over in 2012, also did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. The University of Cambridge did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n

The sermon reportedly reduced outraged congregants to tears, and shouts of “Heresy!” rang out in the chapel as some incensed worshipers left in disgust. Banner later responded to a complaint letter from an offended churchgoer by claiming that Heath’s sermon raised “legitimate” speculation.<\/p>\n

Heath’s sermon drew condemnation<\/a> from figures such as Gavin Ashenden, who served as the chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II from 2008 until he resigned in 2017.<\/p>\n

“What Christianity teaches us is that Jesus gets to make us more like him, that’s the deal,” said Ashenden, who left the Church of England to join the Roman Catholic Church.<\/a> “And whenever you find somebody making Jesus more like them, that’s not the deal.”<\/p>\n

“So what happened in Cambridge was an inverse process and a perverse process, and we shouldn’t be surprised, because the academy is like that sometimes,” Ashenden continued. “They don’t know when to stop.”<\/p>\n

Evangelist Franklin Graham also blasted Trinity College for hosting the sermon, which he called “repulsive and shameful.”<\/p>\n

Rates of Christianity in England and Wales have dwindled within the past decade<\/a> to the lowest number on record, according to government statistics released last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
