WTF? Duke University Students Pray to ‘Great Queer One’ During Worship Service

A report from Hope Rawlson at the blog for the Institute on Religion & Democracy has documented that students at Duke Divinity School, which is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, have held a “Pride” worship service to pray to the “Great Queer One.”

She revealed, “Divinity Pride, a student group affirming the ‘dignity, faithfulness, and strength of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and gender/sexuality non-conforming Christians,'” held the event.

Rawlson noted Caroline Camp, a second-year M.Div student, opened the service with, “Strange one, fabulous one, fluid, and ever-becoming one.”

She claimed God is “mother, father, and parent” and “drag queen, and transman, and gender-fluid.”

She reported, “A self-identified trans woman, C.J. Surbaugh, a first-year M.Div student, defended gender transition as biblical.”
