Woke Pastrix Praises Her Polyamorous Congregants, Polyamorous Lutheran Preacher

Open Way Church in Vancouver, Canada, is among the most demonic we’ve ever encountered. Led by impastors Beth Carlson-Malena and Mark Fox, their ‘church values’ and ‘beliefs are a thing to behold. Not only do they only gather in person as a corporate body once a month, because of their fear of COVID, which “is not over yet.”

Their church bio explains that they practice an “anti-racist and decolonizing faith” built by “queering power” while advocating for an “anti-oppressive, margins-centering approach to structures and practices.” They also “encourage curiosity and risky questions, leaving room for wonder and mystery and the trickster Holy Spirit.”

Oh, and there’s a bunch of openly practicing polyamorous men and women in this church.

Six months ago, pastrix Beth, who is ‘gay married’ to another woman, invited pastrix Carolina Glauster to preach one of these Zoom services. Glauster is a Lutheran pastor who leads Mount Olivet Lutheran Church while also being in a proudly and open polyamorous relationship, having a “partner” and a metamour (which is the partner of your partner/ lover of your lover.)

Naturally, Pastor Beth makes a point to gush over this relationship and polyamorous lifestyle, inviting any congregants who think they might want to explore this type of thing to get in touch with her.

Heretics. Plain and simple.

I always wonder - who funds these people and their “church?”

We have such groups in our area, and normally, they have slowly infiltrated and taken over a declining urban parish - oftentimes with a lovely old church, rectory and other buildings.

But they have almost no congregants, they themselves have to live, and maintaining churches and buildings are not cheap.

NOT A LUTHERAN!

Depending on the pronouns, either a heretic or a hisetic, but either way going straight to hell on a supersonic ship.

"Pastrix" Beth Carlson-Malena.

My name is Beth. I grew up in Saskatoon.

I studied at Regent College in Vancouver.

I spent a few years (2014-2017) in Toronto.

Now I’m back in Vancouver, hopefully for a long time.

I am queer.

I try to follow Christ.

I am married to Danice.

I watch and read lots of science fiction.

I also spend too much time reading other people's writing, and not enough time doing my own writing.

I like root beer.

And also other kinds of beer.

I have been part of some life-changing communities that have shaped me.

Jacob's Well.

God's House of Many Faces.

Generous Space.

And the ones I currently work for:

Open Way Community Church, a church I co-launched and now co-pastor in Vancouver with my friend, Mark Fox. And Young, Hip & Married, where I get to marry people.

And in my free time, I like to get into lots of holy mischief by joining with groups like Stop TMX, in hopes of stopping fossil fuel extraction and mitigating the climate emergency.

Lesse .. no mention of God… or worship… or Jesus… or Lutheran principles…

Oh look, the Holy Spirit is a trickster?

This is about as Lutheran as the “Democratic Republic” of North Korea…

That’s a man, baby! Yeah!

[small farm girl]

James 3:1...she will pay the price for her misguided teachings. I feel sad for anyone in ignorance attending service there.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Pastrix? In the Bible weren’t womyn preachers called witches?

[heartwood]

I wish these people would just go UU. No they have to transform their church.

[larrytown]

“Trickster” Holy Spirit....

Ain’t no trick to see what’s coming.

[Fledermaus]

Polyamorous equals slut

[ViLaLuz]

Open Way Church. Aptly named.
