Then the 55-year-old pastor with spiked gray hair and blue jeans launches into his weekly welcome, a poem-like litany that includes the line “queer or straight here, there’s no hate here.”

And here I thought God hates sin. At least thats what my Bible says. Wonder what this ‘pastors’ book says.

[Are Evangelical & Lutheran Churches Relevant Anymore?]

Don't mistake the ELCA for Lutheran. They are a disgrace to the name. All the other Lutheran denominations in America are socially conservative. (I'm a Lutheran pastor, LCMS.)

“Tidd is an outlaw pastor of sorts.”

He is a heretic if he is teaching these things.

[bronxville]

Mark Levin calls them Secularist Churches. I think he named them well.

[who knows what evil?]

...just bath houses with a steeple.

Did they get to the part about "only half the congregation is kneeling"?

Full Disclosure: in 5-10 years look for a series of multiBILLION dollar lawsuits against these churches as widespread sodomy of young boys by queer members and staffers is disclosed.

Cheers!

This is so dumb. People who have family members who struggle with same-sex tempttions understand that wanting your loved ones to overcome temptations and live a virtuous life, is not "hating" them.

We love all our children and want them all to live in an upright way. Everyone is tempted to some kind of disordered behavior. Everyone. Love consists, not in saying "Well, OK, have at it," but in saying, "We're with you, we're praying for you: Strive hard to do the right thing, and avoid sin, through the grace and blessing of God."

The only thing “evangelical” about this church is perhaps it’s outreach to our youth in the sick attempt to indoctrinate them into the queer lifestyle.

Just like Obama and his fist-gate czar.

[Politicalmom]

When did these weirdos co-opt the term “evangelical”?

[ansel12]

Lest some people get confused about Evangelicals in general, and conservatism.

[mrsmel]

Just another article with an agenda of attempting to make Biblical Christians question and doubt their faith and trust in God’s word, and feel marginalised. It won’t work, we know Who is our Rock. We also know that Jesus Himself said that the way would be narrow and the world would despise us as outcasts. The world is headed more and more towards the one-world religion, along with the one-world government.

Also, I’d bet it’s one of those emergent congregations.

Evangelical Church Opens Doors Fully To Gays

My church, like ALL decent Christian churches, has always been fully open to gays. We have also always been open to adulterers and to thieves. Unlike the church in this story though, we are loving enough to welcome all comers and still to provide the guidance that they so desperately need.

[constitutiongirl]

The Rev. Mark Tidd initially used the word "gay." But he changed it to "queer" because it's the preferred term of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people ...

Gee Rev. Tidd, I think God prefers the terms "sodomites" and "abominations".

Does he also give “shout outs” to welcome the adulterers, fornicators, thieves and murderers?

[massmike]

Just when we thought home-schooling was the answer,now we’re going to have to have home-churching!

[fwdude]

Chances are, this isn’t the first bit of heresy to seep into this “church,” not by a long shot.

[Salvation]

Are you as puzzled about this as I am?

[Rocky]

It would be better for them if they were tied to a millstone and cast into the sea.
