Methodist Pastor Says He Didn’t Preach About Jesus On Christmas Eve, So As Not to Offend His Local Synagogue

St. Paul & St. Andrew is an “affirming & celebrating Church of radical welcome on NYC’s Upper West Side, where all are valued because of who they are and the talents, gifts and energy they bring.”

Led by Rev. Dr. K Karpem and Rev. Lea Matthews, they are a loud and proud United Methodist Church whose progressive values are “reflected in our advocacy for LGBTQ+ inclusion, racial equality, and environmental stewardship.” We last wrote about this church after their youth pastor cited her astrological sign for why she loves having enemies she doesn’t pray for.

During a recent sermon, impastor Karpem explained that the local synagogue suffered terrible structural damage to their ceiling several years ago and that he let them use their space for their religious services as a gesture of goodwill and friendship.

One year, when Christmas Eve fell on a Friday, he had the idea of having their congregation attend the Jewish Kabbalat Shabbat service, and they, in turn, would attend his church service. The cowardly and heretical Karpem states, however, that he didn’t want to offend them by talking about Jesus, so he instead preached on the angels, without ever mentioning the Lord of Glory, a move he would later defend.

  1. He is a Jew. This is why keeping track of those who claim Jewish ethnicity (or are pro Zionist) and their descendants is necessary, so through can be banned from the ministry as entirely unfit. Jews and Jew sympathizers cannot be allowed to be clergy. This is the fight we must win this century, bannjng them from ministry.

    1. So people that convert from Judaism should be banned from ministry because their Jewish heritage ruins them for Christianity? Dave S, you keep getting worse and worse.

      1. Absolutely, because history has shown those that get in the ministry support LGBTQP+ or do the stuff in this article.

      2. Except that dave s is right though, Jews and non-Whites are not and NOT FIT for all types of ministries in the church.

        Many such cases that Jews and non-White subhumans are subverting the Gospel with their Talmud crap and other turd world lies and other heresies.
