Do we really know for sure? Even the most liberal of Lutheran churches wouldn’t endorse such outright blasphemy ( yet ).
My money here is on the UU’s. This is right up their alley.

All the Protestant denominations are being taken over by radical gay and trans activists.

Do Catholics really have the gall to criticize Protestants after everything we have learned?
Of course we have the gall to be critical of all of the crazy things that Protestants believe and profess. As long as the criticism is presented in a fair and polite manner, such criticisms can generate interesting discussion and OFTEN presents an opportunity for Protestants to learn about Roman Catholic doctrine, and for everybody to learn about the very, very many different beliefs of the thousands of different Protestant sects.
The Southern Baptist Convention interestingly enough seems to have given up on nailing down one universal "Catechism" for their churches - they are free to believe different and even contradictory things. Every individual congregation is independent, so, it does make sense that there will be some differences in theology and doctrine and that these differences are embraced.
This pastor who believes in a non binary God is a Protestant pastor. Does this pastor cite anything in the Bible to support this strange description of God Almighty:?

Well, if any entity is genderless, it would be an all-knowing, all-encompassing, ineffable god. People get caught up with taking the Bible literally, but it was written by patriarchal societies, so was written in a away the people would understand. However, they did warn us that we "look through a mirror darkly" in our current forms. Who knows how much we really understand.

My point is, neither side has room to talk. Why barb each other with each others sins? We need to set aside differences and get on the same page about the culture war we are losing badly.

Actually, most normal people have no interest in Church governance and politics. They ain’t going to the meetings, becoming delegates, etc. The Sodomites have mastered this.

There is no fricking way this is real, right?

This is why our ordained ministry is male. Or, said another way, this is just one small reason why we don’t ordain women.
The now apostate Episcopal organization once known by the abbreviation ECUSA but now renamed, somewhat less modestly, The Episcopal Church is a good bet. The green liturgical trappings and the “altar” layout argue for that. Could be Methodist I guess.
Not sure if Unitarians do the Eucharist so they’re probably out the running. However nothing says apostate heresy like a female Episcopal “priest” blaspheming the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by corrupting a Creed and leading her flock to wolves.

Oweo, this is your post:

I just created this account to tell you that not only is this ^ unintelligible, it’s also blasphemous, callous, and unoriginal.
This will be my first and last post regarding you.

Having just gone through the disaffiliation process, one thing that stuck out was... Just how new the "United" Methodist Church is....Tet Offensive happened same year as the UMC formation. Our church by property was bought and paid for before ever joining the UMC ...so not like it goes back several generations

How has that worked out for the Church? Even before the modern issues, there were plenty of completely heretical individuals actually LEADING the Church. Nasty individuals who cared far more about Earthly pleasure than any Heavenly reward. There were plenty of women leaders in the early Church even as the various councils continued to banish their names along with supposed "heresies".

I’m not a Christian, but I would argue that god doesn’t have a gender, and the description of god was written with male pronouns because of his authority in a patriarchal society. And he probably wouldn’t care about our stupid gender politics.

Yea that’s what he’s told us. He doesn’t get it.
His situation is alittle weird too because he’s not actually ordained in the Methodist church. He’s ordained in the Nazarene they just really needed pastors and he stepped up and offered to help.
