The country's parliament voted through the new law on same-sex marriage by a large majority, making it mandatory for all churches to conduct gay marriages.
Most evangelical "churches" I know of would just try to find a way to make this a "welcoming" experience.
The apostasy of the churches is exactly why the demonic culture is overrunning all quarters.
Knowing the socialist nature of Denmark, I wouldn’t be surprised if all churches must register with the government, thus making them subject to the government’s edicts.
Freaks.
It’s just a little early in the morning to read the words ‘gay Danish’; a solid reminder of what NOT to have for breakfast.
Ugh! That rainbow mitre combined with the planned parenthood symbol — utterly sickmaking...
This was predictable, and predicted, as far back as the ‘60s
According to the CIA Factbook:
Religions:
Evangelical Lutheran (official) 80%, Muslim 4%, other (denominations of less than 1% each, includes Roman Catholic, Jehovah’s Witness, Serbian Orthodox Christian, Jewish, Baptist, and Buddhist) 16% (2012 est.)
I wonder if their law requires that mosques must also marry homosexual couples? I would get quite a laugh if the law was challenged on those grounds.
Is this guy Episcopalian?
If they have a similar system to Germany’s, then the churches are also funded with tax money. This won’t bother the European Lutherans, but the Catholics will have real issues.

“....Denmark, unlike the United States, has a government-run Lutheran Church....”
.
Is it also guided by a government-run theology?
Hmm, I wonder what Luther would think of it — after all, he did object the way the Catholic Church handled its affairs.
Arent people glad if youre church isnt a government-run church like in Denmark?
The Catholic population in Denmark is VERY SMALL (less than 1%) and a lot of them are from Poland. Hopefully the Catholic bishops there will refuse further tax money and rely on their congregants for funds.
My gaydar just popped a few springs and levers.
Here is an excerpt.

is that legit rainbow trappings, not photo-shopped??? unreal.
I think they’re allowed to reject the funds, but I’m not sure. I’m also not sure if it would make a difference, since the entire premise of such a system is that church and state are not separate. We have a unique system in America in comparison to Europe. We rejected intentionally what they have.
