A Minneapolis church’s\u00a0livestream<\/a>\u00a0Sunday caught the moment when one of its pastors led the congregation in the recitation of “The Sparkle Creed,” which proclaims belief in the “non-binary God whose pronouns are plural” and to Jesus Christ who “had two dads,” among other things.<\/p>\n

What are the details?<\/p>\n

Anna Helgen, one of the pastors at\u00a0Edina Community Lutheran Church<\/a>, asked those in the sanctuary to “confess our faith today in the words of The Sparkle Creed,” which is a radical variation of\u00a0“The Apostles’ Creed.”<\/a>\u00a0Here’s what was recited:<\/p>\n

I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads and saw everyone as a sibling child of God. I believe in the rainbow spirit, who shatters our image of one white light and refracts it into a rainbow of gorgeous diversity. I believe in the church of everyday saints, as numerous, creative, and resilient as patches on the AIDS quilt, whose feet are grounded in mud and whose eyes gaze at the stars in Wonder. I believe in the calling to each of us that love is love is love, so beloved, let us love. I believe, glorious God. Help my unbelief. Amen.<\/p>\n

After “The Sparkle Creed,” Helgen led a congregational prayer to the God of \u201cexpansive and inclusive love\u201d for “the summer solstice” and for “honey bee populations experiencing extreme loss,” as well as \u201cclimate justice,\u201d Pride events, and \u201call LGBTQIA+ leaders.”<\/p>\n
