In yet another political pronouncement, Elizabeth Eaton, head bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has taken a stand against President Trump. She states that his travel ban will do nothing to bring safety and that it smacks of racial discrimination and bigotry.
This is the same head bishop who, during the Biden administration, went to the White House to lobby for abortion rights. If you go to elca.org and look through Eaton’s press releases, you will find one political cause after another. You will never find advocacy for the unborn. You will not find much about evangelism or bringing lost people to Christ. Eaton has said that converting people “is not so much the work of the church, that’s God‘s job”. She has also stated that Hell may exist, but if it does, she believes it is empty. So if the Church’s job is not so much about converting people to Christ and if everyone goes to Heaven, to what will the ELCA devote its time and money? Political cause after political cause.

Many years ago, I graduated from Luther Seminary, a seminary of the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. When I graduated, Luther was moderate to liberal. Today it is radical. Luther has brought in transgender preachers at chapel. Luther held a pagan Native American smudging ceremony during chapel. Chapel services have featured womanist/feminist preachers with periodic prayers to “God the Mother.”
In a previous post, I explained that due to shrinking attendance and finances, a few years ago Luther had to sell off half of its seminary buildings. Did Luther Seminary learn from this? No, two years ago Luther hired a "queer theologian". Please take a look at today’s announcement from Luther below. Luther is now having to sell all of its seminary buildings, downsize and relocate. This is tragic. I think of the godly Lutherans who founded Luther Seminary in 1892 and how aghast they would be to see what it has become. I cannot help but think of the verse from Revelation 2:5, “If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Therefore, remember, from where have fallen and repent, and do the deeds you did it first. Or else I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand from his place, unless you repent” (Revelation 2:5). In the providence of God, I think it is best that seminaries like this close. And many liberal seminaries of the ELCA Lutheran, United Church of Christ, Presbyterian Church USA, Episcopal and United Methodist seminaries are shrinking and closing. If a seminary is promoting unbiblical teaching, it is probably best for the Kingdom that it closes. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock (see here) (The following article was written by Rev.

Reverend Donna Simon, a lesbian with a “wife”, has been elected as bishop of the Central States Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. I believe that makes 9 practicing homosexual bishops in the ELCA. The ELCA also elected the world’s first transgender bishop but “they” had to step down over alleged racism. This is yet another reason to leave this aberrant denomination.

Look at the Queer Confirmation youth retreat below that the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is hosting for fifth-graders, fifth-graders!
Don’t walk, run from the ELCA. In Christ, Pastor Tom Brock
