(OPINION) Pastor Aaron Musser of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Logan Square in Chicago recently dressed in full drag for the Sunday service, wearing a long white dress emblazoned with a golden cross on its chest, a long blonde wig, and full makeup in order to lead the children’s message.
The pastor began the message by calling the children up to the front to sit with him and asked if they’d ever seen a drag queen before. The kids responded in the negative. “I have an awesome story to share with you today,” Musser said. “I am also a boy most of the time when I’m here, but today, I’m a girl.”
His message to the children was clearly not your typical children’s Bible story, but an agenda to indoctrinate vulnerable children with his Queer Theology. Musser’s actions while shocking to some are part of a long-established trend of LGBT activists that have infiltrated the church, including its leadership.
At the forefront of this push has been the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) which has taken more steps to promote Queer & Progressive Theology than possibly any other denomination. In September of last year, it appointed its first openly transgender bishop, The Rev. Megan Rohrer to lead one of the church’s synods, which means she will have direct leadership over 200 congregations.
With her appointment, it was announced that the bishop should be addressed with the pronouns “they/their”. Rohr was the first transgender person to be ordained by the ELCA in 2006 and now makes “history”, the pro-LGBT group Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries said.
“We anticipate the day when all queer ministry leaders will be called to ministry settings without hindrance or barrier and will be affirmed in their God-given calls”. According to this group, there are already over 400 queer ministers in the ELCA at this point. FULL REPORT
