Students at Union Theological Seminary prayed to a display of plants set up in the chapel of the school, prompting the institution to issue a statement explaining the practice as many on social media mocked them.
"Today in chapel, we confessed to plants," the nation's oldest independent seminary declared Tuesday on Twitter. "Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor. What do you confess to the plants in your life?"

From Wiki:
“UTS is the oldest independent seminary in the United States and has long been known as a bastion of progressive Christian scholarship, with a number of prominent thinkers among its faculty or alumni. It was founded in 1836 by members of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.,[3] but was open to students of all denominations. In 1893, UTS rescinded the right of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church to veto faculty appointments, thus becoming fully independent. In the 20th century, Union became a center of liberal Christianity. It served as the birthplace of the Black theology, womanist theology, and other theological movements. Union houses the Columbia University Burke Library, one of the largest theological libraries in the Western Hemisphere.[4]”
Our Pastor read the article in Prayer Meeting last night, and used that verse. We all laughed at them for how stupid they were, but all of us realized how truly sad that is.
The Pastor told us the Bible says there is nothing new under the sun, and that this is just “plain old-fashioned paganism”.
I once confessed to some green beans how delicious they were.
You know how your mouth waters when you start grilling a steak and it starts sizzling? Does that happen to vegetarians when they cut the grass?
I worked with people who were being taught by people very similar to this. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Typical LIB lunacy...typical. Hopefully, for the sake of civil society these mentally ill nitwits will do the ONLY honorable thing available to them.
I was just shocked that someone at Union used the word “sin”
Good Point!
