Living Lutheran is the official and primary publication of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Founded in 1831, it had a monthly circulation of over 133,000 households in 50 countries, sharing news of the denomination’s activities, institutions, congregations, and synods in paper distribution before going fully digital in 2024.
They recently ran a glowing feature of The Table church in Nashville, TN. Led by ‘pastor’ Dawn Bennet, the magazine praises her for her work in ministering to the LGBTQ community, saying in part:
The Table is the first ELCA congregation in the Southeastern Synod with the specific goal of serving the LGBTQ+ community, Bennett said. “This innovative ministry sought to establish a safe place for the community to discover their belovedness and belongingness within the Christian lens. It is deliberate work, albeit tender work,” she added. “The Table offers an affirming place for all women, particularly our LGBTQ+ identified women, to explore their being and belonging.”
It’s also the first LGBTQ+ Women of the ELCA group, which makes Bennett a trailblazer. But Bennet said she hopes it will not be the only one of its kind. “By God’s grace and our commitment to creating innovative ministry in our future church, to be the first means to also pave the way for others to create this kind of specialized unit to serve their own context,” she said.
We’ve featured Bennett, a self-described bisexual/queer woman, a few times before. Our assessments have always been through a far more critical and appraising lens, both for her ordination service, one of the more bizarre we’ve ever seen, and after she attended the Pride parade topless with body paint and pasties covering her.
For the ELCA, however, frolicking nude or getting ordained surrounded by drag queens are not bugs or disqualifying activities. Rather, they are features. These transgressive acts are valued in their clergy and appreciated by the ELCA’s leadership, and we expect to see her profile within the demonic denomination only get higher and higher.

"Really God, really?"
She’s certainly the most normal looking one in the first photo. I swear the person in the far left and the one in purple in the back row are dudes
I thought of another of our FRiends, and threw up in my mouth a little...
Whatever they are, they’re definitely heretics.
this....
The older I get, the more Satanic the heretical church gets, the more I understand the Inquisition.
I doubt she’s even a biological woman.
It is written:
There is "naked", meaning "without clothes".There is "nekkid", meaning "without clothes and looking for action".
Furthermore, there is "good nekkid" and there is "bad nekkid".
This "Pastrix" falls into the "bad nekkid" category.
Eeeeuuuuww…🤢🤮
It’s quite sad. I was a member of the old LCA, one of the predecessor denominations that formed the ELCA. I was there when ELCA was born, amid high hopes, only to see it hit the rocks of pansexuality, abortion and perversion. I got my hat and left, a good 25 years ago.
A nude-dancing lesbian priestess is the logical outcome of a course set upon way back then. They have another, whose name I am blocking on, who is a foul-mouthed tattooed ex-addict who gallivants around spouting profanities and such. And of course the famous “HerChurch” of San Francisco, where they worship some goddess— all under the beneficent favor of the national Lutheran headquarters.
I doubt that God will be so favorably inclined.
She is not classically beautiful.
What, pray tell, is a patrix?
The Inquisition was not about such things.
OMG!
what horrors parading as a ‘church”
I’m not sure, but I have my doubts as to whether I’ll see any in Heaven.
A girly preacher.
Probably gay or trans in the ELCA.
Teaches the devils lies no doubt.
Kind of like a “Latinx”. It’s a libtard fantasy desperate to glom off reality in hopes of snaring a few weakminded normies.
Former LCA…….left 36 yrs ago
Saw the ‘ handwriting on the wall’ for the ELCA
Never looked back
She makes it easier to understand the appeal of Jezebel to the people of Israel.
They’re all so cocky and self-important now, but unless they humble themselves and repent the last thing they will ever hear, other than their own eternal screams, will be “Depart from me, I never knew you.”
