This United Methodist Church Just Put on the Grossest ‘Flag Ministry Dance’ You’ve Ever Seen
Allendale United Methodist Church is one the most progressive we’ve ever seen. Led by Rev. Andy Oliver, his congregation is “committed to anti-racism and radical solidarity with folx on the margin,” while he himself is “grounded in liberation theology and following Jesus” while being “a community organizer who always located himself with the oppressed.”
This is the same church that preaches super cringe sermons that give trigger warnings for “violent” bible verses, reassuring congregants that if the scripture is too triggering, people can leave, all the while leading them through calming breath exercises.
This is also the same church that gets super litigious when people post clips of their sermons on social media, handing out copyright strikes like candy, even when content is clearly fair use.
To that end, observe the world’s worst display of “flag ministry” and then a call to worship from hell.
