Christ Lutheran Church in Blaine, MN, is led by impastor Sarah E. Moat and has the distinction of being one of the more progressive “churches” we’ve ever come across. A quintessential Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregation, pastrix Moat is not content to refer to LGBTQ peeps with that moniker but insists on doing the whole ‘LGBTQIA2S+’ each time (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or gender expansive, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit) lest she exclude someone.
She explains that they formed a welcoming team in 2020 “with a focus on ensuring that “LGBTQIA2S+ people have a safe space within the church.” One of the first things the team did was to “encourage the staff and congregation to begin identifying themselves with personal pronouns.”
The staff add personal pronouns to their email signatures, and they instruct congregants, “The next time you have to introduce yourself, include your personal pronouns after you say your name.” Ironically, they’ve culled any gendered language as part of their worship services, no longer using terms like “men” and “women” and only referring to God as ‘God’ rather than using the “He” pronouns as revealed in the Bible.
During their 2023 Pride Sunday service, one member gives a bizarre testimony of what Pride means to him, and it resolves around the towel on his head he wore up to the stage, a whole lot more.
Remember the old days when churches taught that Pride is one of the 7 deadly Sins?
Now they are Proud of being involved in at least one of the other 7 Deadly Sins.
Its ELCA
They left the “church” and “lutheran” a very long time ago....
I wonder how their "interpretation" of Leviticus 18:22 reads?
"Thou shalt not lie with a person as with a person! It is an abomination!"

Isn’t pride what got satan kicked out of heaven ?? Now we have “”pastors””telling people be full of pride...Yeah,the devil will love you for it....
I wish the Catholic Church remnant could leave the pope lead catholic church.....but they own everything...they’ll take everything....
The church is the people, not the buildings.
I’ve read that congregation numbers and donation intakes have also been dropping for years now in the LCMS Lutheran Church “Misery Synod”, which I was raised in.
The XXXA has been a demonically evil organization for decades, since they started advocating abortion, a form of child sacrifice.
The LCMS used to be appropriately hard line in their beliefs. Have they gone left also?
Where does the Wisconsin Synod Church stand these days?
And before you 1st amendment fanatics get your panties in a bunch, there is indeed a time and place for all to be heard. Debauchery in lecture in the house of God, anything goes sex lecture for kindergartners, a drunkin rant at an AA meeting may be examples of a few exceptions...
All denominations. Its not because LC-MS is liberal. Mainly because many kids don’t stay in their communities they grew up in for work/careers.

God isn’t allowed to have His personal pronouns?
