The ELCA is a merged denomination of several Lutheran church bodies, which were once sound and Christian. It has since been taken over by Satan and his minions.

There are many older members who are (or at least were) Lutheran Christians, who for various reasons are trapped in ELCA congregations. I (formerly ELCA, since 2008 Orthodox) pray for these people regularly, and others should do so, too!

And no, the ELCA is not the Missouri Synod. And there are also several spin-offs from the ELCA which have escaped from Satan’s clutches!

--- From the article: "...to reimagine the invitations of the Lord’s Prayer through a womanist lens...."

What is a womanist? What is it when the white ELCA liberal females do it?

One learns: "Womanism is a term originating from the work of African American author Alice Walker in her 1983 book In Search of Our Mother's Garden: Womanist Prose, denoting a movement within feminism, primarily championed by Black feminists. Walker coined the term "womanist" in the short story Coming Apart in 1979.[1][2][3] Her initial use of the term evolved to envelop a spectrum of issues and perspectives facing black women and others."

One would think the lily white liberal females would be charged with cultural appropriation, not to mention racist anti-racist intellectual theft. As in....

The “Sparkle Creed” was originally penned in 2021 by Rev. Rachel Small Stokes, pastor of Immanuel United Church of Christ in Louisville, Kentucky.

Jesus ‘Had Two Dads’—Church Recitation of ‘Sparkle Creed’ Draws Criticism 28 June 2023

Some have said the name and meant this:
"As people around the world celebrate Christmas, it is worth remembering that Jesus was a socialist. Of course, he was born long before the rise of industrial capitalism in the 19th century, but his radical ideas have influenced many critics of capitalism, including many prominent socialists and even Pope Francis.

"Pope Francis has consistently criticized the human and spiritual damage caused by global capitalism, widening inequality, and corporate sweatshops. Last week, he blamed the "god of money" for the extremist violence that is taking place around the world. A ruthless global economy, he argued, leads marginalized people to violence."

"Jesus Was A Socialist

Then there's this:
"Jesus was a Hebrew rabbi. Unusually, he was unmarried. The idea that he had a romantic relationship with Mary Magdalene is the stuff of fiction, based on no biblical evidence. The evidence, on the other hand, that he may have been what we today call gay is very strong. But even gay rights campaigners in the church have been reluctant to suggest it. A significant exception was Hugh Montefiore, bishop of Birmingham and a convert from a prominent Jewish family. He dared to suggest that possibility and was met with disdain, as though he were simply out to shock."

Was Jesus gay? Probably

The attack on Christianity seems to be at full throttle now. Led by the UCC and the ELCA and the mass media....

Sparkle Creed
Must have been from the Council of the Chicago Bathhouse, you know the one where Saint Barry slapped the heretic Anita Bryant.

What's really fascinating is how their "Ten Enchantments," you know, like the First, "Thou shalt put thyself and they self-esteem above all else."
