On the Streets of Babylon: Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence spotted

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to have been a "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" seen on the Streets of Babylon ....

 

"It’s the tale of the ordination of Pastrix Dawn Bennet into the

ELCA.....On one side of the sanctuary, a black choir belted out gospel tunes.

On another, 10 drag queens dressed as nuns, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, sat and cheered. These performers are an LGBT protest group that uses  "religious imagery to call attention to sexual intolerance and satirizes issues of gender and morality."

The lecterns (those who read the scripture for everyone) were comprised of a “pagan wiccan priest who loves Jesus,” an agnostic best friend, and a gay pastor.
While they took communion, Jennifer Knapp (yes, that one) sung some of her “old stuff” over them. Communion occurred while wearing her rainbow colored sneakers- holy shoes that she only wears while she preaches to remind herself of the necessity of

radical LGBT inclusion.

Her vestments were smattered with rainbow stripes and accessorized with rainbow pins.
She was prayed over and blessed by an assemblage of theologically aligned ELCA ordained ministers, rejoicing as they laid hands.

In the months since she became ordained, she’s led an active and aggressive inclusive church-type group. The Easter sermon she preached on Sunday was about not being afraid to affirm one’s true, authentic gay/transgender self.
She made the point while reading from the inclusive Bible and prayed to “Holy Father, Holy Mother, Holy Parent”, thanking…(They?)….for our collective queerness."
