'Sparkle Creed' - False religious prophets anyone ?

[PJ] Every so often, we hear about a progressive Christian leader who says something outrageous and downright heretical. The latest case is Rev. Rachel Small Stokes, pastor of Immanuel United Church of Christ in Louisville, Ky. The United Church of Christ is a far-left denomination; it’s actually the denomination where Barack and Michelle Obama attended church when they lived in Chicago — until his toxic pastor began hogging the headlines.

In an undated clip courtesy of Woke Preacher Clips on Twitter (an essential follow), Stokes has her congregation stand and recite what she calls "The Sparkle Creed."

#8  So just why has the UCC lost 80% of its membership in the last 50 years? And why did they have to downsize their corporate HQ from 7 floors to 1?

It's a mystery.

Oh Lord!

Thou has seen fit to smite us with them damn Yellow Jackets

And them Damn Engineers and

Them damn Ramblin Wrecks.

We beeeeesearch you to settle on a name for them bastids.

And that goes for the War Eagles, Tigers and PlainsMen too.

Oh Lord!

From the easy approach shot spare us,

that we might gain humility in your glorius woodz.

From the tap in let us turn away...

and seek the harder path of ye double dip putt.

Oh Lord!

Let us not despair of deh wind

but seek to understand thy mightee goodness

And take joy in your glorius woodz.

Oh Lord!

Smite dem bastids behind me and let

my next shot out of your glorius woodz,

find they punking hed.

Amen .

Go forth an sin no more. the PPal is in the Narthex.

#5  Other than the faked chant-along, she is so vapid her reading has no conviction. Just reading along with up-talk accent. Awful.

#3  Your faith belongs in your heart (spirit), not on your sleeve. All the stuff about gathering to worship aside, God is most interested in what's in your heart.

Not the icky leftist flavor of the week.
