In Norway we have a Lutheran majority church, that has recently been separated from the state. And that is a good thing. The state has, especially under socialist governments, undermined the church by appointing liberal bishops, many female. So, the church is now trying to keep their membership numbers up, and try to reach out to the modern Norwegian. Making a gender neutral wedding liturgy is a part of that. (shaking my head in disbelief... I do a lot of headshaking..)
Now, in the time of Lent, the church tries to reach out to the younger generations. Making a mass based on HARRY POTTER! The biblical saying potter's hands is bewitched and blasphemed in this silly, desperate attempt of being a cool church. I am happy I am no longer a part of the church, but this is so devilish I can hardly believe it.
