A youth pastor in Germany has drawn fierce criticism after blessing the union of four men to each other at a pubic wedding event, insisting that the LGBTQ polucule were now \u201cmarried before God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lena M\u00fcller initially posted the picture earlier this month in a since-deleted Instagram post, writing, \u201cOn Friday evening, I was allowed to celebrate my first poly wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00fcller and her church are part of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia (EKBO), a progressive denomination with a membership of 880,000 and nearly 1800 churches,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year they hold a Pop-up Wedding Festival in Berlin where people can come without pre-registration to get married- with everything already taken care of, including pastors to officiate, music, and a decorated venue.

In an interview<\/a> with Neue Osnabr\u00fccker Zeitung newspaper, following some blowback for her role, M\u00fcller explained that she didn\u2019t see a problem what the big fuss was about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we actually celebrated the festival as a \u201cPride Edition,\u201d specifically aimed at queer people. In our regional church, same-sex marriages have been possible since 2016, but that hasn\u2019t fully sunk in for many yet. And then, on that evening, we suddenly had a poly constellation in front of us\u2014four young men who wanted a blessing for their relationship. You could immediately see that there was a lot of love between them. So the team quickly agreed: What could God have against it being four instead of two?

We couldn\u2019t enter the wedding in the church register because a civil marriage must have taken place beforehand, which wouldn\u2019t be possible in this constellation. But I am absolutely convinced that they truly got married before God. They also received a beautiful certificate. And they chose a wedding verse from the Bible, from 1 Corinthians: \u201cLove never ends.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When it was pointed out that the Evangelical Church in Germany still teaches monogamy, M\u00fcller doesn\u2019t think of her denomination\u2019s position on it, nor the Bible\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a theological question where we\u2019re just at the beginning of a journey. We can\u2019t discuss it over the heads of people who live polyamorously or polysexually, but only in dialogue with them. I don\u2019t have final answers myself yet.

Churches should advocate for relationships and actions that people live out not to harm their fellow human beings or fellow creatures. That\u2019s what I see as our task. But when people make decisions on equal terms, autonomously and consensually, then I don\u2019t see it as my job as a pastor to tell people what they should do in their bedroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She later revealed that she did not get in any trouble for overseeing the event, and that her church leaders approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was blessing, and blessing belonged there. I really felt it, and I stand fully behind it\u2026You could see immediately that there was a lot of love between them. That\u2019s why the team quickly agreed: \u2018What should God have against the fact that there are now four and not two?’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
