Union Theological Seminary Students Confess Climate Sins to Plants

'Absolute theological bankruptcy.'

That depends. Which theology? It certainly ain't Christian. Plant whisperers maybe? Perhaps they changed their mission statement to a Gaia Worship Cult; ‘the creature, not the Creator.’ The world encountered this ancient paganism 2,500 years ago in the guise of Celtic paganism, and its embrace of animism - creature worship.

But have no fear. Christians won't behead you for your apostasy.
 

Jon Brown at the Washington Examiner did his homework, and shows keen insight into the stage for these plant whispering cultists:
"Affiliated with neighboring Columbia University in Upper Manhattan, Union became the nation's first independent seminary in 1893 when it sundered from the Presbyterian Church after the denomination tried to oust one of its professors for claiming the Bible is not inspired by God, among other things.

German pastor and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer was among the school's more famous alumni, who left after escaping the Third Reich to teach there briefly in 1939. Appalled by the liberalism of its students, Bonhoeffer wrote they "are completely clueless with respect to what dogmatics is really about. They are not familiar with even the most basic questions. They become intoxicated with liberal and humanistic phrases, are amused at the fundamentalists, and yet basically are not even up to their level."

Bonhoeffer remembered that students "openly [laughed]" at a lecture on sin and forgiveness, and accused the seminary of having "forgotten what Christian theology in its very essence stands for." Disillusioned, he decided to return to Germany to resist the Nazi regime, where he was executed at the Flossenbürg concentration camp in 1945 for his role in the July 20 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler."
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
"Confessing to the plants was "just one expression of worship here at Union," a spokesperson for the seminary told the Washington Examiner. "Union Theological Seminary is grounded in the Christian tradition, and at the same time deeply committed to inter-religious engagement. Union’s daily chapel is, by design, a place where people from all the wondrous faith traditions at Union can express their beliefs. And, given the incredible diversity of our community, that means worship looks different every day!"

"One day, you may come in to find a traditional Anglican communion, another day you may enter into a service of Buddhist meditation or Muslim prayer," the spokesperson continued."
That explains it. These Union apostates have swilled the Unitarian kool aid. IE: it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere. Plant whisperers welcome.

...and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. John 4:3
