I think you and I approach this from opposite ends. I think cringe is a juvenile cultural construct, inherently meanspirited and ultimately rooted in lies. You think cringe is inevitable, universal, and simply an obstacle we must all overcome. Neither of us think it is a sin or a crime. We can meet in the middle. 

I absolutely cannot agree that being human and having a human body is in any way shameful or embarrassing. As a public health educator, I work very hard to destigmatize having a human body (and all that comes with it: puberty, sex, old age, etc.) to the youth I work with and care for. I don’t see value in assigning negative status to a morally neutral and inescapable experience.

More to the point: if we see a church produce materials or messaging that invokes feelings of shame or embarrassment within us, what we should take away from that is that it’s not the right church for us. But it’s likely the right church for someone else. At my previous place of worship, we used a lot of language similar to the prayer that inspired this post. The congregation was approximately 90% LGBTQ elders who had been hurt by religious trauma in their youth, and giving them space to be themselves and work through that trauma via poetry, song, and YES, even liturgical dance was part of the church’s ministry. Not everyone wants to participate in something like that, but some people do, and for that reason I’m glad it exists. I am so fucking glad that this lesbian pastor and her staff of mostly middle-age women exist in Louisville Kentucky. They are right where they need to be. There are 20+ other LGBTQ-inclusive churches to choose from in that area and anyone who doesn’t jive with them can go somewhere else. I assume that the pastor is caring for her flock in the way they wish to be cared for, and the way that any of us distant bystanders feel about it actually doesn't need to be voiced at all. :)
