Adam Hamilton, the progressive senior pastor Church of the Resurrection, the biggest UMC church in the country and one of the largest Methodist churches in the world, has won his Senate race in Kansas, unseating Republican Sen. Roger Marshall.
We’ve previously covered the progressive, pro-LGBTQ, pro-choice Hamilton after he claimed that there are hundreds of mistakes in the bible, and after he preached a sermon about Mary Magdalene, arguing that the apostle Paul was wrong about the issues of women and ministry., and that MANY of the men of Sodom who were part of the attempted gang rape of two angels in Genesis (who they believed were men) were actually HETEROSEXUAL.
Hamilton won the six easily with nearly a 6% margin, part of the Democrat ‘blue wave’ that decimated Republicans last night at every level.
During his victory speech, he appealed to the scriptures, repeatedly, remarking that “Kansans want Republicans and Democrats to work together to actually solve problems, to meet in the middle.” while quoting Mark 12:31 (“love your neighbor as yourself”) Matthew 7:12 (“do to others what you would have them do to you”) and Micah 6:8 (“what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”).
