Drag Queen Preachers
They borrowed the strategy from parasitoid wasps, which lay their eggs inside another organism and let their offspring eat it alive from the inside out. From outside, it still looks like a caterpillar, but inside there is soon nothing but hungry wasps, eating away until they are ready to leave their dead host behind. The United Church of Christ demonstrates how to apply this to churches, which are infiltrated, subverted, and repurposed:
In the book Drag Queen Preacher, the Rev. Ricardo Tavárez describes preparing to get photographed as his drag persona, Luz De La Rica, after winning a local drag competition. …
He is one among several United Church of Christ pastors using the artistry of drag to expand the message of God’s love and inclusion.
God loves our souls, not our sinful behavior — let alone blasphemy.
Yet Tavárez crows triumphantly:
“I remember feeling the sense that this is what needs to happen. This is what I’ve been waiting for to launch fully into ministry — to break the barrier between self-expression and being a pastor, to break the barrier between the LGBTQ community and what happens on Sunday mornings, to show up in full drag to do a performance before I started preaching, and to tie the message in directly with matters and concerns of the queer community.”
This guy is literally the pastor of a church — specifically En Vivo Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Tavárez incorporates drag by hosting an annual Drag Sunday with his congregation. He also preaches at other churches as Luz De La Rica by invitation – something he has found to help churches have important and powerful conversations around being Open and Affirming.
Being “Open and Affirming” means promoting the LGBT agenda.
God is not mocked.
