Beaming Books is a branch of 1517 Media, the publishing house of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Beaming publishes “high-quality children’s books that help kids thrive in every part of who they are–emotionally, socially, and spiritually.” Other imprints include Augsburg Fortress and Fortress Press.
In 2020 it published the book “Queerfully and Wonderfully Made: A Guide for LGBTQ+ Christian Teens, which has an introduction by former CCM artist Jennifer Knapp and is edited by Leigh Finke, a transgendered, trans activist who recently helped pass legislation making Minnesota a “safe state” for sex change operations on children.
Finke’s book tells LBGTQ teens that Jesus was “totally fine” with queerness, instructs them to limit contact with and don’t listen to parents if they are not gay-affirming, and explains how porn can be helpful and “silly fun.”
“If your parents do not accept you and your queerness, then they do not know what’s best for you. They just don’t. Even if they love you, even if they’re praying for you…Just because they love you does not mean they know what is best for you. Limit contact with any adult who tells you something is wrong with you…just know that you are the only authority on who you are.
…Please, if your parents are unsupportive, remember this: You are a separate human person from your parents (crazy, right?!). They don’t know you like you do; they don’t get to decide who you are. God decided that, you have accepted it, and if they are going to be part of your future, they’ll have to accept it too.”
Regarding pornography, including the use of “educational” “queer porn” it says:
“For starters, porn can be a safe way to explore your sexuality. You can learn about your body and pleasure and how to make the most of both. You can also take that information, when applicable, and put it to use on your partner’s body.”
The book recommends watching porn “with your partner, which can open up new conversations about sex and pleasure, stimulate our natural arousal systems, or it can just be a silly fun thing to experience together.”
This is not the only gay-affirming book for children that the ELCA publishes. For Pride month, they are featuring several books, including Rainbow Boy, “A story about a boy with a heart too big for one color alone.” and Rainbow Allies; The True Story of Kids Who Stood against Hate
So the “Evangelical Lutheran Church in America” promotes sexual sin of all kinds - promiscuity, pornography, and the alphabet agenda of thousands of “orientations.” The whole spectrum of sexual sin - and targets minor children to boot with this message.

Yes.
CA is perv hq
A. "God".
Strangely enough, it’s the daughter congregation of the Lutheran Church in America (its other parents included the American Lutheran Church and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches).
Anyway, the LCA produced “Davey And Goliath.”
That’s insane.
Porn can have lasting ill effects on sexual and emotional balance. It can even adversely affect male performance in the long run.
Very stupid, besides being satanic, demonic, and hellish.
The left has done more destruction to religion than they did Country music.
I know I am! There is NOTHING safe about pornography at all. It ruins not only computers, smartphones and tablets, but more importantly marriages and souls!
That is absolutely right.
It can result in possibly permanent changes to the brain having to do with reward-satiety circuitry — resulting in a situation where no amount of sexual stimulation is adequate due to the circuits having been overloaded and saturated. Actual differences in sub-area brain volume and function can be seen using fMRI and other imaging tools.
“ Anyway, the LCA produced “Davey And Goliath.””
That was a long time ago.
Davey and Goliath were produced by United Lutheran Church in America. Which became just LCA after merging with some other churches in 1962.
In 1988 it merged with others and became this ELCA.
Silly fun is snapping each other with wet towels.
This “church”(?) is being guided by Planned Parenthood reference material rather than the Bible.
Psychologically speaking, this is the same as saying that heroin is fun.
Somebody needs to sue the everliving crap out of this satanic cult called ELCA.
