Protestia recently shared a video from St.
Paul’s Anglican Church in Essex, Ontario, where they apparently employ an
updated, LGBTQ version of the Lord’s Prayer. It starts out with a matronly
looking person, albeit one possessing a shockingly baritone voice, referencing
“Our mother and our father, our beloved parent…” and somehow gets worse from
there. Those of you with strong stomachs can watch it via this link.
What kind of people would turn the
Lord's Prayer into the LGBTQ Prayer? Why would anyone turn what is supposed to
be a supplicative plea to the Savior for guidance and forgiveness into an ode
to oneself and one’s lifestyle? And something that tells everyone else,
including the Lord, how they must accept, support, and celebrate you?
Disgusting and sacrilegious.
The ‘prayer’ is mostly concerned with
diversity, equality, inclusion, and belonging, and not so much with keeping us
from temptation and delivering us from evil. That’s old school. Passé. It does
request that transgenders “have their daily needs met,” and asks for
“forgiveness for the ways that we have fallen short and failed your beloved
transgender children.” It also instructs the Lord to “open our minds and our
hearts to those who think, act, and experience life differently.” Meaning
members of the LGBTQ community, not conservatives. I mean, diversity and
inclusion can only go so far, right?
Let’s just rename it “They’s Prayer.”
It would be more accurate.
But, if we really want to be
inclusive, why not have separate “Lord’s Prayers” tailored to car salesmen,
Capricorns, rapists, cat ladies, pedophiles, members of the Deep State, Dallas
Cowboy fans, or vegans?
Bless us Father, for we have sinned.
