Babylon is fallen, is fallen,..
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4
There were some "Rainbow sneakers" spotted on the Streets of Babylon...

"Two years ago, Dawn Bennett became an ordained ‘pastor’ in the
thoroughly apostate Evangelical Lutheran Church of America
(ELCA,) in
what is perhaps the strangest ordination ceremony we’ve ever seen.
Bennett, who is a self-described she/her bisexual, queer woman.....Bennett, who ‘pastors’ The Table church in Nashville under the
leadership of Bishop Kevin Strickland in the Southeastern Synod, has a
long record of LGBTQ and pro-abortion activism, but it is her ordination
ceremony that truly is unforgettable.
During her induction into the ELCA, a black choir belted out gospel
tunes on one side of the sanctuary. On another, ten drag queens dressed
as nuns, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, sat and cheered.
These performers are an LGBTQ+ 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) comprised a
“pagan wiccan priest who loves Jesus,” an agnostic best friend, and a
gay pastor.
While they took communion, Former CCM star Jennifer Knapp sang some
of her “old stuff” over them. Communion occurred while wearing her Rainbow sneakers- “holy shoes” that she only wears while she
preaches to remind herself of the necessity of radical LGBTQ inclusion.
Her vestments were smattered with rainbow stripes and accessorized with rainbow pins.
.....her first Easter sermon was not about the resurrection of Jesus, but
rather about not being afraid to affirm one’s true, authentic
gay/transgender self while praying to “Holy Father, Holy Mother, Holy
Parent,” thanking…"They….for our collective queerness.” Pulpit&Pen
