The ELCA Leadership Taking Part in a "Ministers March" the Washington Post Calls "A Moral Rebuke to Trump's Presidency"

8/28/2017

4 Comments

 
Well here we go again with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America taking part in leftist politics.

Today there is a gathering called "Ministers March For Justice." The event's Facebook page describes what it is about. Here is part of the description: 

"Clergy will hold the Trump Administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions accountable in the wake of an increase in hate crimes, mass incarceration, and discrimination just to name a few.


We are in grave times that call for vigilance and a mobilized effort to confront the Administration on issues that are taking us backwards." (see here) 


As mentioned, the ELCA is heavily involved. The Metro D.C. Synod of the ELCA shared a post of an article titled "Religious leaders plan rally in Washington as a moral rebuke to Trump's presidency."

Bishop Bill Gohl, of the Delaware-Maryland Synod is marching. Here are some of his Facebook posts which shows a lot of ELCA leaders participating:
 

How Bible-believing Christians, Republicans or Trump supporters can remain in this denomination I will never understand.

ELCA in Support of Sanctuary Cities

8/7/2017

Here is another example of ELCA leadership pushing their liberal policies. An article titled "Religious groups join suit against ‘sanctuary cities’ law" reports that,  

"Six bishops from the Episcopal Diocese along with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the United Methodist Church and Texas Impact filed a friend of the court brief against SB 4.In total, they represent at least 142,000 parishioners and 461 congregations in Texas, according to the filing." (see here) SB 4 is "a so-
called sanctuary cities ban." 

This isn't the first time the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America leadership has taken up the sanctuary cause. Earlier this summer a number of ELCA synods declared themselves "Sanctuary Synods." (see here)

    "Then he (Joshua) took a large stone and set it up there under the oak near the holy place of the LORD.

    'See!' he said to all the people. 'This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the LORD has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue to your God.'
    Joshua 24:26-27
