OUTLAW PREACHER NADIA BOLZ-WEBER
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Sep 14, 2009 in AM Missives, Current Issues, Emergence Christianity, Emergent Church, Features
Apprising Ministries has long been maintaining that Mainstream Evangelicalism Is Now On The Rapid Slide To Apostasy because of its ongoing embrace of the egregiously ecumenical Emerging Church aka Emergent Church—morphing into Emergence Christianity—(EC), as I recently pointed out in Did Nadia Bolz-Weber Just Call Jesus “A Schmuck”?
Now along this line in Jurgen Moltmann Conversation we told you of an Emergent Village Gathering honoring this Christian Universalist theologian called Theological Conversation With Jurgen Moltmann. It’s important to note that this heresy-fest was thrown by JoPa Productions, the company formed by heretical Emerging Church theologian Tony Jones and his equally heretical quasi-universalist Emergent Church pastor Doug Pagitt.
I have also reminded you a few times now about the next EC conference from Jo-Pa, which is called Christianity 21 (C 21) coming up October 9-11. As AM previously pointed out Jo-Pa have informed us that “all 21 of these Voices” at C 21 are women who’ll supposedly be revealing “the way the Christianity will be changing in coming days.” One character among these is “queer inclusive” ELCA “pastor,” and former “professional f**k-up,” Nadia Bolz-Weber.
At the same time this has been happening, in pieces like Outlaw Preachers Miss This, AM has been warning that along the outskirts of the EC is a rather rapscallion bunch, who have crowned themselves outlaw preachers, and are now sprouting up around head Outlaw gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker. This growing, largely Biblically illiterate, *cough* group of “preachers” is currently quite busy Turning God’s Grace Into An Idol.
But as someone who’s been tracking these movements for some time now I can tell you they are not disparate groups at all. No, as you’ll see here, they are more interwined than you know. Consider that today Bolz-Weber Tweets:

When one clicks on the twitpic link above you’re taken to a picture of Bolz-Weber herself while on her recent speaking trip in German Lutheran seminaries. And at virually the same time Khad Young, whom we introduced you to in Communion With Outlaw Preacher Khad Young, then Tweets the below. By the way, the @sarcasticluther Young mentions below in the promo for his next OP podcast happens to be self-described “outlaw preacher” Bolz-Weber:

It truly is as pastor Todd Wilken said today on Issues, Etc., all false teaching eventually leads to the same spiritual sewer. And in this case the sewer would be the Emerging Church and its evil agenda affirming that a lifestyle of committing unrepentant sexual immorality in having sexual relations with another of the same sex i.e homosexuality is a viable lifestyle for the Christian. You need to know that even though these people were once working independantly; but, no more.
For the interested reader, you can see this further in Nadia Bolz-Weber On A Jesus And The ELCA where you’ll see that Bolz-Weber already blogs at God’s Politics, the prominent website of Jim Wallis. For those who don’t know, Wallis happens to be one of those Red Letter Christians along with such notable names around this Emergence Christianity like Brian McLaren, his friend Tony Campolo, and Living Spiritual Teacher “father” Richard Rohr.
But for now, I will use this opportunity to remind you once again that there’s a very dark and threatening same-sex storm right now approaching hurricane force, and which is currently only slightly off the coast of the mainstream evangelical community.
