What on earth do these people think they are up to? They've taken a good Christian devotion, unfortunately often maligned by other Christians who don't understand it, and turned it into some pagan worship event - at a Christian, or supposedly Christian, church. Now this extreme IS a corruption of the Christian faith ... not the real meditation on the life of Christ, and asking Mary to pray for us. Take a look at the prayers they use.
Experiencing the Goddess Rosary by Dalyn Cook
"The banner on the outside of EbenezerLutheranChurch boldly proclaims “Goddess Rosary Every Wednesday 7 p.m.� Doubtless this precipitates questions in the minds of passers-by: a rosary at a Lutheran church? A feminist take on a ritual indigenous to a denomination with an especially strong patriarchal foundation? I was eager to experience this new phenomenon, and it was with open mind and heart that I entered Ebenezer on my first Wednesday evening in the City. Thought the church was empty, I felt that I had stepped into a Presence, like a mother’s warm embrace. The attendees were few in number, yet there was a sense of fullness in this welcoming space. I inhaled deeply the earthy scent of the incense, sending up delicate tendrils of smoke which curled around the altar in a nimbus visible against the warm rays of the evening sun filtering through the stained-glass windows."
