I can't believe it. Can you?
------
On Wednesday, Christians in Iowa, Kansas, New York, Tennessee, and elsewhere mixed glitter in with the ashes for Ash Wednesday services. While these believers likely had good intentions, their public act subverted the meaning of Ash Wednesday and Lent.
"The public face of Christianity is often a face of intolerance — especially toward LGBTQ people. There are millions of Christians who believe that the Gospel commands us to love, not hate. Glitter ashes are a witness to an inclusive Christian message," reads the "Glitter Ash Wednesday" website for Parity NYC, a pro-LGBT Presbyterian church network affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
Ministers in Nashville hosted a public event at Legislative Plaza beneath the Tennessee State Capitol. Salem Lutheran Church in Lenexa, Kan., mixed glitter with ashes in its regular service. Parity NYC lists 25 churches as its partners in the New York metro area. Many, if not most, of these likely mixed glitter with ashes in their services. Downtown Disciples, a pro-LGBT and pro-Black Lives Matter group of Christians in Des Moines, Iowa, shared a photo with glitter in the shape of a cross, the way ashes are typically applied on the forehead.
