Believe it or not, I've heard worse IMO: an Easter message delivered by an ELCA pastor focusing on butterflies and flowers. Resurrection Sunday, and no mention of the Gospel or Jesus' redeeming us from sin - just a tale of finding encouragement in butterflies and flowers, nature's symbols that we can hope for a fresh beginning.

Still, this ranks up there with that. Swap out the butterflies for this trans-gendered Jesus, and the message is similar.

Outside our local ELCA church there is a cross with a large butterfly on it. A Monarch, I think.

Hmm, I've also heard an interesting ELCA sermon: the pastorette spoke for 40 minutes about the movie Pay it Forward. She worked herself into a fine fit of tears with nary a mention of God or Christ. It seems to be a pattern with them.
