It does not look like the church thinks much of conspiracy theories especially 9/11,
which is strange considering the bible is full of them and miracles .So three sky -
scrapers collapsing into their own foot print from only two aerial impacts should not be a problem for them.

Church bans 9/11 Israel conspiracy priest from using social media
The Rev Stephen Sizer banned by Church from using social media or any campaigning
on Middle East after sharing 'clearly anti-Semitic' material

Dr Sizer, who is a prominent campaigner against Israeli policy in Palestine, insisted that
even though he strongly disagreed with many of the things others said, he was there as
an “ambassador for reconciliation”

‘A vicar who promoted conspiracy theories that Israel was behind the September 11
terrorist attacks on the internet has been banned from speaking, writing, tweeting
or blogging on the Middle East by the Church of England.
The Rev Dr Stephen Sizer has also agreed a complete prohibition on using any
social media for at least six months. It is believed to be the first ban of its kind
issued by the church.
But Dr Sizer will be able to remain as priest in charge of his Christ Church parish in
affluent Virginia Water, Surrey, and there are no current plans to defrock him.
The ruling by the new Bishop of Guildford, the Right Reverend Andrew Watson,
imposes one of the most sweeping sets of restrictions ever placed on a serving
Church of England cleric.’
It follows a complaint by the Board of Deputies of British Jews 10 days ago after Dr
Sizer posted a link on his Facebook page to an article entitled “9/11 Israel did it”
adding the comment that it “raises so many questions
The Board said the posting, just after Holocaust Memorial Day, promoted material
which was “unquestionably anti-Semitic” and the Church of England voiced “sorrow
and shame” at what he had done.
Dr Sizer, who has a long history of disputes with Jewish community leaders over
blog postings and other online activities voicing his strident views on Israel and Zionism.
Last year he infuriated Jewish community leaders by taking part in a conference in
Iran which was dubbed an “anti-Semitic hate-fest”.
In 2013 the cleric reached a mediated deal with the Board of Deputies in which
agreed to moderate the tone and nature of postings and links on his blog on the
subject of Israel and Palestine.
Although Dr Sizer removed the posting after complaints, he initially continued to
defend it insisting that he was “encouraging debate” about “serious allegations” –
insisting that he could not be sure Israel was not behind the 2001 atrocities in the US.
Speaking from Uganda, where he was travelling at the time, he accused the Board
of Deputies of “harassment” and said they had seized on “one little link” in order
to “discredit” him.
But just over 24 hours later, by which time he was back in the UK, he issued an
apology through the Diocese of Guildford.
Now, under special measures agreed by Bishop Watson, he has signed an
agreement to refrain from any public discussion on the Middle East and stay off
Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites.
Bishop Watson said Dr Sizer's "strong but increasingly undisciplined anti-Zionist
agenda" had become a "liability".
He said that even other Christians who support the Palestinian cause found his
strident stance counterproductive.
"Having now met Stephen, in my brand new role as Bishop of Guildford, I do not
believe that his motives were antisemitic," he said.
"But I have concluded that, at the very least, he has demonstrated appallingly poor
judgment on the material he has chosen to disseminate, particularly via social
media, some of which is clearly antisemitic."
The move has been welcomed by the Board of Deputies.
Bishop Watson said it was theoretically still open to someone to trigger formal steps
under the Church's disciplinary procedures against Dr Sizer but that the path taken
was likely to be much more quick and effective.
"It seemed the right way to go forward," he said.
"We could have gone down a legal, Clergy Discipline Measure route - if we had
done that the outcome would have been, actually less certain and it would also
have taken a very long time.
"It is my judgment that particularly in the context of the alarming rise of
antisemitic crime within our country that it was important for me to be able to hold
a press conference quite quickly like this rather than for months and months to
have to stand behind [saying] 'I can't comment until the legal process has worked
its way through.
"If he is not repentant, if he continues working in this way I've made it very clear
that he will go."
Jonathan Arkush, vice president of the Board of Deputies, said: "The Board of
Deputies referred these matters regarding Rev Sizer to the Diocese of Guildford
who have acted swiftly to resolve them.
"The Board has expressed its full acknowledgment of the undertakings asked of Rev
Sizer and their implications and we are grateful that the Church shared our deep
concern that Rev Sizer had indeed crossed a line in the offensive materials he was
posting and linking to online.
"The Board of Deputies now hopes that Rev Sizer's unbecoming and inappropriate
conduct has now been brought to a close. The Board together with the Diocese of
Guildford and the Church of England strongly believe that good community relations
are based on mutual respect and trust, which we now hope can be restored after
this very unhappy episode."

The Church of England has banned one of its vicars from all social media and taking
part in any anti-Israel activities after he appeared to question whether Mossad had
a role in the 9/11 attacks.
Reverend Stephen Sizer of Christ Church in Virginia Water, Surrey, posted an
article entitled "9/11 Israel did it" on his Facebook page, where he has almost
2,500 friends and followers. He captioned the piece: "Is this anti-Semitic? It raises
so many questions."
The Church promised to investigate the posting, which happened the week of
Holocaust Memorial Day.

Reverend Stephen Sizer has had previous run-ins over his dubious Facebook posts
Bishop of Guildford, the Rt Revd Andrew Watson, said the Church took the
complaints "extremely seriously" and that he did not consider Sizer to be anti-
Semitic, but a man of "appallingly poor judgment".
