Charisma News, by Abby Trivett: An Episcopal church in Austin, TX is currently gearing up for their third annual “pride eucharist.” While the meaning of communion according to Scripture has always been to remember that Jesus’ body was broken and His blood was shed on the cross for our sins, Jubilee Episcopal Church has decided to give an entirely new meaning to this most sacred event.
“Jubilee Episcopal Church is delighted to share our third annual pride eucharist will be in #pridemonth this year, on Sunday, June 9th!” A post read on Instagram. “Join us for Holy Eucharist – a service of holy words and a holy meal of bread and wine – wherein we will spend particular time celebrating God’s love for all LGBTQIA+ people.”
The post continued to share the church would be putting together hygiene kits for the homeless and then have a reception afterwards. They also announced that congregants could order a limited-edition t-shirt with the proceeds going toward their children’s ministries.
In a video acquired by Protestia, Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail of Jubilee Episcopal Church showed viewers what the limited-edition t-shirts looked like for this pride event.
“I always think it’s fun to have like concert tees or whatever for the pride eucharist,” McManus-Dail said in the video.
Florals and tie-dye covered the shirts, with adult and children’s sizes available. The shirts have statements like “pride eucharist” and “God made us in infinite color” on them.
This taking of a holy sacrament, a time of reflection of what Jesus did on the cross for our sins and making it about something like pride is not only misguided but shows how far away from biblical theology our churches have become. It’s clear this church, and this clergy are misleading people away from the truth.
When we take the bread of communion, we are to remember that Christ willing was nailed to a cross for our sake. He took on the sins of the world, not because He was guilty, but because He was innocent and took our place when we deserved it. The Eucharist was never meant to be about us or celebrating ourselves. It has, and always will be, about the Savior of the world.

“The man of sin was to arise, and do his work of exaltation and blasphemy, before the brethren could look for the coming of Christ. That great event was to be preceded by a falling away. There would be revealed a form of Antichrist, and the leaven of apostasy was to work with increasing power to the end of time (The Review and Herald, July 31, 1888).” SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 7, page 910.2.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Saturday June 1st, 2024 at 01:01 AMThey try to do some nice things, helping the homeless or selling tee shirts, to offset the extreme error and anti-Biblical teaching they advocate. Of course Jesus loves every human being and He died for every one but He did it to save us FROM sin, not in it . Homosexuality is recognized as an abomination in the Bible. And eucharist is not mentioned, not as they celebrate it. Makes me wonder if the reason they are so “inclusive” is to bring in more people, unprepared for true conversion, because it brings in more money.
