More of the same garbage is described from various denominations.
What could be more full of meaning?- for the pulpit is ever this earth’s foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world. From thence it is the storm of God’s quick wrath is first descried, and the bow must bear the earliest brunt. From thence it is the God of breezes fair or foul is first invoked for favorable winds. Yes, the world’s a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow.
Herman Melville, Moby Dick, Chapter 8

The information - 50 Plus Years of Pride - came from the links I found about the "Sparkle creed" being used at an ELCA congregation in wealthy Edina, Minnesota. The mocking blasphemous creed is nothing more than the accumulated toxins of
- Objective Faithless Justification (born forgiven and saved),
- Church Growth (rationalistic destroyers), and
- Ignorance about the Reformation (Luther, Melanchthon, and Chemnitz - for those who graduated from Mequon).
"I believe in the church of everyday saints, as numerous, creative, and resilient as patches on the AIDS quilt, whose feet are grounded in mud and whose eyes gaze at the stars in Wonder." Sparkle creed.
The Sparkle creed had to have decades of development to have female clergy lead it in public - with a smirk - and the videos published on YouTube. Years back, the same style of nonsense and perversion was featured, bragged about, protected, and awarded with calls - "Party in the MLC" (WELS).
Pardon my lack of ignorance - I saw it coming in the early stages in the LCA, even as a lad at Plymouth Congregational (UCC) Church, Moline - a woman dressed in a man's suit.
50 Plus Years of Pride is not the end but just another marker on the road to perdition. If people do not make themselves aware of what it happening now, and act on it, everything will be far worse. I gave up income at one school because it was embracing DEI. However, that left me open for only teaching the Bible. I will write more about the topic, based on the corporate style of self-destruction.
