New York Church Invites Drag Queen To Pentecost Service: 'Worship is a Drag'

Pastor says white Evangelicals 'convinced we are grooming their kids'

A church in upstate New York marked LGBT pride month by hosting a pair of drag queens at a worship service.

The Park Church in Elmira hosted a “Worship is a Drag” event Sunday, the first Sunday of the month recognized by LGBT activists as “pride month.” The church, affiliated with the United Church of Christ, described the event as a “special communion worship service with guest presenters in drag.”

Led by the church’s pastor, Rev. J. Gary Brinn, the service was held to “celebrate Pentecost, kick-off LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and come to Christ’s Table of Love.”
