Now see: A different perspective on the 1001 PC (USA) Worshiping Communities
At first I thought it was a joke. I saw it in a comment under a blog posting. Remember the red balloons and dancing in celebration at the Presbyterian General Assembly less than a week ago. They were celebrating the supposed 1001 new worshiping communities. This was the shameful link I saw: Bi-Cycling for All. And this is the description:
A place to find and know God
for the bi-sexual community while emphasizing the unitarian concepts embodied
in the primary geometric symbol of bicycles, round wheels, round gears, and a
chain connecting the unity of the drivetrain. We will work diligently to
advocate for full inclusion of bisexual individuals into the life of the
church, including ordination, bisexual marriage equality, and recognition that
Jesus was bisexual [1]
So now we are embracing a group whose only reference to
Jesus is that he is supposedly bisexual!
The Fellowship of All Species
gathers to worship the Creator of All--- not just the human species. We will
work for full inclusion of all animal species into the life and witness of the
PC(USA). Our desire is to recognize that every living, breathing creature upon
this earth is welcome in the church and can serve the church in varied and
unique ways, giving witness to the Creator. [2]
I am a disabled veteran setting
this up as a virtual community for outreach to veterans and their families.
The person who has set it up is Chuck (Craig) Northacker. He writes for Veterans News Now
the anti-Semitic site connected to the vile site Veterans Today. The latter is the site
which the Southern
Poverty Law Center’s Hate Watch states has now entered the neo-Nazi
movement after blaming the shooting of children at Sandy Hook on Israeli death
squads.
Veterans News Now is posted on the news section of
Vets-Help.org.
[1] [2]Update- The first one is, as I originally thought, a joke, because their address is 666. And someone pointed out to me that the Fellowship of all Species is certainly a hoax because its originator is Chuck Darwin.
Luther said, "fI you are going to sin, sin boldly." The PCUSA has certainly embraced that admonition.
ReplyDeleteThis is a logical progression of recent PC(USA) trends and the rationales supporting them. They are turning themselves into cartoons.
ReplyDeleteWill there is a Cartoon one: Caring Creation Animators. The description is "Caring Creation Animators is a 1001 WC which seeks to raise the joy of animation to the level of Divine worship. We see ourselves. Animators are creators in their own right, therefore their creations are worthy of praise and adoration. Under the banner of 1001 WC we plan to develop a theology of color and movement, sound and effect, which recognizes the true life each character possesses, which is a part of their original creator. CCA is further inspired by Saint Walter, Saint Tex, and Saint Chuck, who have provided miraculous interventions in the lives of many generations of animators. Hollywood 2114 W Burbank Blvd. I suspect that one is also a hoax-see my update.
ReplyDeleteSatire? Makes one wonder what qualifies to get on the site.
ReplyDeleteViola-I am Craig Northacker. Not Chuck, whoever that is. You should check your facts before you spout off in something about which you know not. I grew up in the shadows of the Nazi world in Berlin in the 1960's. I was taken to Plotzensee, where my one teachers' father was strung up on piano wire looped around a meathook by the Nazis for trying to kill Hitler in 1944. I was also brought in to see the piles of human teeth, including children's teeth, their shoes, eyeglasses, clothing, luggage and their emaciated bodies before they were burned. I fought with hardened Nazi's who were still in hiding in Berlin when we moved there to support Pan Am presence there. I was grilled by former Nazi's because I was American in an area where Americans were not wanted. I listened as people were shot trying to escape from East Berlin, and as tanks rolled down the street in front of my school.
ReplyDeleteIf you still think I am a neo-Nazi then you are the embodiment of why I enlisted in the military - to give every one a chance at using their free speech. Even though you are dead wrong for writing the nonsense you did, and for not verifying it. And, you should be aware of legal ramifications of writing and publishing statements that are incorrect.
