You may have noticed news reports about a special worship service that will be happening here next week with music and a message inspired by the popular singer Beyoncé. You may have heard criticisms from our fundamentalist brothers and sisters that Grace Cathedral worships Beyoncé rather than our Lord Jesus.

As supporters of the cathedral you know how important it is for us to be involved in the public life of our city and the world. A longing for justice lies at the heart of our identity. We have a tradition of engaging popular culture on issues of social justice that stretches back long before our controversial Duke Ellington Jazz Service in the mid-1960s.

I thought that it might be helpful for you to know a little bit more about this Beyoncé Mass.

The Vine, our Wednesday night (6:30 pm) contemporary worship community, was inspired by the Grace Cathedral Year of Truth theme and initiated a preaching series specifically to raise up the voices of women. Last week we focused on Mary Magdalene.

For our April 25 Vine worship service we invited Yolanda Norton to preach. You may remember her from her January 14 sermon at our 11 am service. Professor Norton teaches a course at San Francisco Theological Seminary on Beyoncé and the Hebrew Bible. We decided to include Beyoncé’s music in this worship service especially designed to raise awareness about issues that women of color face in our society.

We have been surprised by how much attention we have been receiving about this and do expect a large attendance at this worship service. Your friends may ask you about this. You might want to remind them that God is in all the world and that Beyoncé is made in God’s image. The church has not treated women of color fairly and it is time to face this truth.

You are welcome to join us at the Vine. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions you might have after this Sunday’s 11 am service here at the cathedral.

Love,

Malcolm

The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young

he series began with a program on Mary Magdalene called “The Original Nasty Woman.” The ministry equated Mary Magdalene to Hillary Clinton saying “strong, smart women being insulted and marginalized by agents of patriarchy is as old as time.” The church claims that if Mary Magdalene were here today, she would be “wearing a pink hat and marching with all who wear that epithet, ‘nasty woman,’ as a badge of honor.”

“Empire never falls lightly,” Norton said in her sermon. “Sometimes we call it racism; we call it empire. You call it homophobia; we call it heterosexual aggression; and tonight, we call it empire.”

Who attends these shitlib white mainline Protestant churches? It's got to be such a shrinking demographic of people who are huge anything-goes shitlibs but still want to attend church every week.

Old degenerate and decadent boomers involved with the performing arts. At their worst, If you are familiar with Silence of the Lambs, they are like the Mason Verger-lites of the world.

I'm a lay leader of a growing congregation in one of these churches. We bring in all sorts of people: college kids, millenial professionals, retiring boomers. Mostly liberals looking for an accepting community, but a few conservatives too.

That church has, unfortunately, been taken control of by the degenerate elite of SF and used to promote liberal trash on an unprecedented scale for at least three or four decades.
