A Lutheran pastor in Minnesota went all out woke at a recent service held in honor of Pride Month, the Christian Post reports.

Anna Helgen, co-pastors Edina Community Lutheran Church, in Edina, Minnesota, and in a service live-streamed on June 25, 2023, Helgen started off with a prayer that she called the sparkle creed, which included a statement that Jesus had two dads:

“I believe in the nonbinary God, whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic, and had two dads and saw everyone as a sibling child of God.

“I believe in the rainbow spirit who shatters our image of one white light and refracts it into a rainbow of gorgeous diversity. I believe in the church of everyday saints, as numerous, creative and resilient as patches on the … quilt, whose feet are grounded in mud and whose eyes gaze at the stars in wonder. I believe in the calling to each of us that love is love is love, so beloved let us love.

The Edina Lutheran church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) which as a whole has moved away from the Biblical message and fully embraced a liberalism.

Not surprisingly, ELCA is now reporting a free fall in attendance.

In an article for The Canadian Lutheran, Matthew Black describes the woes facing the ELCA. If the current trends continue, by 2041, the denomination will only have 16,000 people attending church services in the US:

“The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), meanwhile, reports a membership of 3.14 million members as of 2020—a drop of more than a million members over ten years (from 4.27 million in 2010). The trajectory is so concerning that the ELCA itself has estimated it will have fewer than 67,000 members total in the United States by 2050—with fewer than 16,000 people in worship as early as 2041.”
