This isn’t satire, but it sounds like it. The Vision Church in Atlanta, Georgia, has added a psychic medium to their church staff. The medium, Lakara Foster, claims to be able to communicate with the dead. The church licensed her to Gospel ministry and hired her as staff so that she can help parishioners communicate with their deceased relatives.
File this under, “I kid you not.”
Rolling Out first covered the story in a post entitled, Black Girl Medium, At a Church Near You. The church says that her ability to communicate with the dead is one of her “spiritual gifts.” Her doctoral dissertation title was, ” Every Good and Perfect Gift Is From Above (James 1:17): Making The Case for the inclusion of Psychic Mediumship among the Spiritual Gifts of the Modern Church.”
Apparently, Vision Church thought highly of her dissertation and agreed that necromancy was a New Testament spiritual gift.

Good!!! I lost my keys in 1996...
OMG, I found some keys in 1996!
Sure add the occult to the church. I see no problem here. /s The kind of thing you find in one of those end of times movies.
This didn’t work out very well for Saul if I remember correctly.
What next?... maybe a "pot tester" or a "doobie" roller?
ROFL!!!
THAT’S THEM!!! :)
Lol
Pass the sacred joint :)
What a sacrilege and farce.
I’m no expert on th the bible by a long shot but I am pretty sure this is frowned upon.
James Randi will have something to say about this.
People are refusing to retain knowledge of the Lord.
Some of these same people seem to be doing exactly the things that Romans 1:18-32 addresses as a consequence.
... nah ... just a coincidence.
Or not.
Maybe they could also have someone who could channel Elvis on their staff?
Why not put a baby vivisectionist on the roll while your at it?
* you’re
Coming Soon:
The Local Wicca Coven would like to set up an Introductory Workshop with the church and discuss how they too could contribute to the Ministry Staff.
Such is the state of contemporary religion in America. They demand God conform to their demands instead of them obeying God. It's all about the worshipper, not the Creator, and they create whatever doctrine suits their fancy.
Matt 15:9: in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Leviticus 19:31 “Don’t turn to psychics or mediums to get help. That will make you unclean. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 20:27 “Every man or woman who is a medium or a psychic must be put to death. They must be stoned to death because they deserve to die.”
Leviticus 20:6 I will condemn people who turn to mediums and psychics and chase after them as though they were prostitutes. I will exclude them from the people.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 You must never sacrifice your sons or daughters by burning them alive, practice black magic, be a fortuneteller, witch, or sorcerer, cast spells, ask ghosts or spirits for help, or consult the dead. Whoever does these things is disgusting to the Lord. The Lord your God is forcing these nations out of your way because of their disgusting practices.
Pretty much says it all IMO.
For a "love offering," I'm sure they'll find them for you.
How much was that car worth?
Sounds like they already have.
“The Ghost Whisperer” meets “The Sixth Sense”.
A phenomenon not impossible. After all, HRC spoke numerous times with Eleanor Roosevelt.
