This made me gasp and then feel nauseated

[WildStrawberry]

I don't care about the laughing in Church...Foot washing can be a good object lesson but...

The third picture down makes me ill. My non-Lutheran husband is shocked an appalled. He finds it amazingly offensive.

A Year in the Life of House for All

 

[joyfulthanks]

I have no words. That is so far beyond disgusting that I'm speechless!

 

[WildStrawberry]

There's a new group on Facebook called "Women of the LCMS- Don't You DARE Ordain Us. I picked it up there.

 

[alexnbethmom]

absolute sheer blasphemy. completely DISGUSTING. and does not surprise me one iota to learn what "church" this is.....

 

[filosofer]

Oh, man.... Is this another Lutheran paradox? The perfect food group (chocolate) mixed with God’s means of grace (Baptism). The best of both words, but together in one mush? Ah, no thank you!!!

I'm curious if the first picture is from a women's bible study or if that's a regular service. . . because I only see women in the background there. . . no men.

The woman is wearing a vestament so it makes me think that it was some sort of service. . . And if so, I wonder why no men? Hmmmm

For the record the third picture is disgusting but not surprising. . . nothing is sacred.

I'm guessing liberals..

Yeah me too.

The description from their home page:

"House for All Sinners and Saints' is a group of folks figuring out how to be a liturgical, Christo-centric, social justice oriented, queer inclusive, incarnational, contemplative, irreverent, ancient - future church with a progressive but deeply rooted theological imagination."

 

[Aibrean]

It's an ELCA congregation. Would you expect any less?

Did you read what they have for shirts? http://www.cafepress.com/houseforall.384344119 that is on their church site. I'm sorry, but these people are so NOT Lutheran (and yes, they even say so on their website that part of their congregation is made up of agnostics!).

From their site...

Is everyone Lutheran at HFASS?
Well, Nadia is Lutheran enough for all of us.

This "church" is a joke. It sounds more like a circus than a house of God.

"House for All Sinners and Saints' is a group of folks figuring out how to be a liturgical, Christo-centric,

Why do you got to "figure it out" this part isn't really that hard.

social justice oriented

Translation: Socialist, opposing income inequality.

queer inclusive

Translation: Homosexuality is not a sin, and it doesn't matter what the bible has to say because that is how we feel.

incarnational

Is it just me or is this some sort of filler?

contemplative

So they think about things a lot?

irreverent, ancient

Oxymoron

- future church with a progressive but deeply rooted theological imagination."

Key words. . . PROGRESSIVE and IMAGINATION

There are a few men there.

It's another example of what the ELCA is all about. The fact that they allow such things (this plus Herchurch) proves it beyond a doubt.

 

[WildStrawberry]

From what I saw, there are men in there. In one picture, the only man has his face blurred...curious.

It was just...nauseating...

 

[porterross]

That looks more like a social group that just happens to work Jesus in now and then in the midst of all the fun. Shallow Christianity.

How sad for those who don't know any better.

 

[neen1]

I have no words for that. I just kept looking at the picture and was thinking, Really? I mean REALLY?? wow.

II Timothy 3:1-9

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

 

[JTornado1]

I think I'll avoid that church. It's too weird.

 

[bach90]

I don't like to use the terms liberals or progressives when referring to these people. They are heretics, and these pastorettes and those financing them are cut off from Christ.

 

[Lprdgecko]

Wow... I am shocked.... Like someone else said, I just kept staring at the 3rd picture and thinking, "There's no way they're actually doing that... It can't be true...."

I find it very interesting that they have Ebeneezer Scrooge's door knocker in the bottom right corner of the page. I wonder if this means they are supported by Ebeneezer Lutheran in the Bay Area. If so, nothing they do will suprise me.
