Episcopal Bishop’s Demonic Vision of a New World Religion
The Episcopal Church has a history of heading down the fast road of apostasy. Their acceptance of homosexuality, abortion, witchcraft, and its departure from biblical Christianity has led it into the ecumenical movement of interfaith and the one-world false religious system. Retired Bishop William Swing has a vision of forming a United Nation for Religion which would result in a one world religion.
Who is Bishop William Swing ?
Bishop William Swing is the retired Bishop of the Espicopal Diocese of California. He wasconsecrated as the VII Bishop of California at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, on September 29, 1979. He was very active in helping people with HIV/AIDS and advocating for the elimination of homelessness in the city of San Francisco. Bishop Swing is best known for being the founder and president of the United Religions Initiative as a model to the United Nations for all religions. Back in 1996 he traveled to China, Japan, South Korea, India, the Middle East, and Europe seeking guidance and commitment from leaders of many of the worlds’ religions. The religous leaders he met with were the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, the Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram, Islam’s Grand Mufti of Egypt, and the Archbishop of Canterbury (source).
Swing is a supporter of homosexuality. His former diocese California has a ministry for LGBT’s called Oasis California. This ministry allows the LGBT community to be involved in the Episcopal ministry. In a letter Oasis California 2001 Convention, Bishop Swing states:
“Heterosexuals are a threat to marriage. Homosexual couples are a threat to the traditional institution of family. Homosexuals are kicked out of families and disowned. Then when they form their own families, they are abandoned by the Church. And when they raise their children, society treats them as being scandalously selfish. Nevertheless, we are all going to have to grow up and realize that the institution of family is changing before our eyes. Churches need to have family values — values for the big, emerging family that has redefined itself.”
He also holds a negative view on true Christian believers that uphold their faith. He believes that these Christians are a threat to world peace. Swing is under the influence of the spirit of anti-christ. He opposes the true church of Jesus Christ. Swing is against Judeo-Christian values and preaches and teach a false ecumenical gospel.
What is the United Religions Initiative?
The United Religions Initiative is an interfaith organization that is modeled like the United Nations for religion. It helps end religious - motivated religion and aid in the peace of Earth. In March of 2001, the URI became an official Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) affiliated with the United Nations. Swing’s original vision for the URI began in 1993, when he was invited by the UN to host an interfaith service honoring the 50th anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter (source).
The United Religions Initiative involves the following groups: Christians, Islam, Judaism, Buddhist, Hinduism, Taoism Shamanism, New Age, Mormonism, Wicca, and Witchcraft. All of these religions are united for the sole purpose of bringing a false peace and a false one – world religion.
Interesting enough, one of the key groups that was involved with the early stages of URI, was the Covenant of the Goddess , which is the world largest organization for witches. CoG members helped write the URI charter which states: “We the people of diverse religions, spiritual expressions, and indigenious traditiions throughout the world, hereby establish the United Religions Initiative to promote enduring, daily, interfaith cooperation, to create culture of peace, justice, an healing for the Earth for all living beings (source).” The URI has brought CoG (Neopagans) into the mainstream of the cultures and made it acceptable. Other Neo-Pagan groups that support the URI are as follows: Coven of the Stone and the Mirror, Goddess Holding the World Mural Project, Hippo Haven Wiccan Community, Pagan Educational Network, The Pagan Sanctuary Network, and the SerpentStone Coven in North Carolina(source).
The URI is also supported by Mikhail Gorbachev’s organization, The State of the World Forum, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and New Age Futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard . The URI is supported by a variety of religious and political groups that have the same demonic vision of a one-world religion to bring about false peace.
Bishop Swing Endorses the Occult
One of the top members of the URI global council is Donald Frew. He is the High Priest of Gardenerian coven in Berkley, California, and is the national interfaith representative for the Covenant of the Goddess. Frew discussed interfaith gathering with Bishop Swing in which he states:, “A highlight for me was being asked to perform a traditional Wiccan foundation blessing in closing ceremony…I specially invoke Hekate, and Hermes by name, and Hermes by name, and the [Episcopal] bishop was right there.. raising his arms in invocation with the rest of the Circle! We have come a long way (source).”
This shows that Swing has totally abandond the scriptures and he is embracing the Wiccan foundational blessing. It speaks loudly that he is an apostate and a son of Belial. This isn’t the first time an Episcopal Bishop has dabbled with the occult. Bishop James Pike, during the 1960s after his son James Pike Jr. committed suicide, participated in a live television occultic seance to have medium communicate with his dead son (source). Swing has carried on Pike’s apostate legacy. But Swing has traveled to another level of apostasy with his demonic vision for a one-world church, peace, and the rise of Anti-christ. Without a doubt, he is fulfilling Bible prophecy.
2 Thessalonians 2: 3 says, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition.”
1 Timothy 4:1 says, “Now The Spirit, speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrine of devils.”

Pay attention. This write up is a clear wake up call that ecumenical religion is lining up with Revelation 13:11-14. The mark of the beast is permanent allegiance to a demonic satanic system. Every system must have a start and foundation. This article is a tell tale description of a movement that is underway and is about to reach its apex. It is interesting to note that there is a mention of the sons of Belial. The first traces of the sons of Belial were Hophni and Phinehas. The sons of Eli were also known as sons of Belial. Sexual immorality coupled with temple sacrifices. This article makes sense as to the direction the world is headed and what your pastor, if he or she is not loyal to God, is up to. Be careful. Your pastor and the local church you attend might be a part of this.
Lets look into the Bible on what God has said and done about false god worship.
Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
Exodus 20:4-6
4 “You shall not make for yourself [a]an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, YHWH your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
Numbers 25:2-5
2 For they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel joined themselves to Baal of Peor, and YHWH was angry against Israel. 4 YHWH said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people and execute them in broad daylight before YHWH, so that the fierce anger of YHWH may turn away from Israel.” 5 So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you slay his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor.”
The real God (The one in the Bible, lets be clear) hates the worship of false gods, even more so if your suppose to represent Him. If you bow down to false idols God says that you HATE Him.
Pastor Rochester your correct in your assessement. It is people within the American Christian Church that is lining up with ecumencial religious system of Revelation 13.
Do you know Pastor Rick Warren is playing a big part of leading people astray into this one world false religion? Warren sits on the board for Tony Blair Interfaith Religion Foundation.
Creepy. Terrifying, even. I don’t know what the future holds, but if this dude’s “Christianity” is any indication, things are going to get pretty rough for those us who try to live according to The Word.
People of God: These are interesting times to live in. We are literally observing the end times becoming more fulfilled before our very eyes.
What this “bishop” is doing is and has been predicted in scripture.
Such false teachers and prophets are spewing forth a “different” gospel
as to deceive and mislead people who are not versed in the Word of God.
Unless the Spirit of God has mercy upon them, you can “dialogue” with them but to no avail…because they believe (deceived) that they have
caught on to new revelations and doing God’s work. Such is the nature of
deception. It makes you believe that which truth has indicated is not true.
Why? Because the duped person has a tendency in their own heart and spirit to deny and defy God and they do not want to submit to his Lordship.
So, they fabricate and deny and shave the Word of God to their own liking.
This is what this “bishop” has done and is doing and obviously he is quite comfortable with it. His conscience has been seared as with a hot iron and
as such there is no way to grab his attention because the searing has left him without remorse for the contemptible way he is treating the Son of God.
It is amazing how False Bishop Swing is actual fulfilling Bible prophecy, and Satanist Alice Bailey demonic vision of a one world church based on the occult.
OK This hit me like a ton of bricks. This is massive proof that we are the final generation. I’m also upset there’s a cross up there but then again, I see crosses displayed in all black on tshirts and in jewelry, it means nothing to the world.
Almost everything is set up for what God revealed to us in prophecy regarding the Day of The Lord aka The Tribulation. This is SO DEMONIC and what has brewing in the shadows is coming out to light. this will soon be the norm when the restrainer (The Holy Spirit) is taken out of the way. Jesus will soon call His true church to be with Him.
I also looked at the logo for the covenant of godesses and i’ve seriously been seeing that upside down triangle alot in popular music videos…doubt that’s coincidence.
DF when you get opportunity checkout the interview articles we did with Pastor Joe Schimmel, it goes over the background of the upside down triangle.
Also your seeing mysticism in churches now like the Emergent Church, and false prophets like John Crowder “drunken anointing,” and getting high off the Spirit. Seducing spirits using people like this to lead people to Hell.
