Check out this "little jingle."

(sung to the tune of Fidelity Fiduciary Bank, from the musical Mary Poppins)

If you donate your tuppence
Wisely to the church
Safe and sound
Soon that tuppence
Safe within the ELCA
Will compound

And you’ll achieve a sense of justice
As your piety expands
When Higgens Road and its directors
Give in – to special int’rest groups’ demands

You see, members, you’ll be part of
Dissing the church in Africa
(They’re homophobes, you know!)
Two millenia of Christendom’s
Theology must to go!
Millions given for bogus studies
Toward a pre-determined goal!
…Ordination for non-celibate gays!

All from tuppence, prudently
Fruitfully, frugally donated
to the, to be specific,
to the publicly accountable,
life-long, monogamous,
same-gender Luth’ran Church

Now, members,
When you give tuppence to the ELCA-church
Soon you’ll see
Leftist causes successfully promoted
At church-wide assemblies.
And you’ll achieve that sense of stature
As your arrogance expands
To the high ecclesial strata
That our ELCA-church commands

You can buy our health insurance
That’ll cover abortions!
Ageism! Feminism! Racism! Sexism!
It’s Victomhood that sells!

Opportunities!
All manner of social activism!
Anti-War! Pro-Choice!
Global Warming! End of Life!
Stewardship to
Secularize the Church!

You see, members,
Tuppence, patiently, cautiously trustingly donated
To the, to be specific,
To the publicly accountable
Life-long, monogamous,
Same-gender Luth’ran Church

Great! Here's another. . . .

We’re Just a Church That Can’t Say No
(from the Broadway Musical: Oklahoma)

We’re just a church that can’t say no
We’re in a terrible fix
We always say, “Come on, let’s go”
Just when we aughta say nix.

When a sinner wants to stay in sin
We know we aughta give em words of Law
But as soon as they cry “Victomhood”
We always, somehow, sorta hem and haw

We like the homosexual
Long as they’re prissy and quaint
We’ll call a sinner a saint
How can they be what they ain’t
We can’t say no!

What ya gonna do when Satan talks flirty, and starts to talk purty?
What ya gonna do?
Sposin that he says that the Bible’s exclusive, but Christ is inclusive,
What ya gonna do?
Sposin that he says that they gotta be ordained,
Cause if they’re not ordained, they’ll cry?
What ya gonna do when he talks that way,
Spit in his eye?

We’re just a church that can’t say no
Reason and Sentiment Rule
And if you don’t agree with us
God’s Word we’ll twist as a tool

Other people say we’re het’rodox
But orthodox ain’t having any fun!
We will wear ‘em down with all our talks
And then we’ll vote our conscience til we’ve won

Many may disapprove of us,
But we know-our God is best.
We put His Grace to the Test!
Won’t you all join, be our guest?
We can’t say no!
