At the exact moment the Lutheran pastoral convention was voting to approve 'chaste' same-sex relationships for their clergy, the God of Abraham made a tornado touch down in downtown Minneapolis that tore down their party tents, ripped a hole in the roof of the convention center, and rended the steeple off of their church.

Earlier in the week, in an attempt to prevent the measure from passing, the conservative wing of the church demanded a super-majority of 2/3rds. The vote came out to a demonically precise 66.67%.

The tornado struck with no warning of any kind and was the first time a twister went through downtown Minneapolis in almost 30 years.

I was supposed to tend bar in the tent that was ripped apart but was called off an hour before because of rain. There were no serious injuries in the storm and the Lutheran clergy of the ELCA are now officially allowed to get their gay on.

All's well that ends well.
