ELCA Head Bishop Holds Hands with Nancy Pelosi and Homosexual Bishop

8/3/2020

8 Comments

 
(The following article is from Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.)

​Look at the picture below and you will see Elizabeth Eaton, head bishop of the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, holding hands with pro-abortion rights Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on the right and homosexual ELCA Bishop Guy Erwin (who has a "husband") on the left. This is not surprising since Eaton has publicly defended abortion rights, transgenderism and homosexuality.

The below video claims that the ELCA is neither blue nor red politically, but look through the news releases at ELCA.org and you will get a different story. The ELCA doesn't lean to the left, it falls over to the left. Eaton publicly was thrilled by the recent Supreme Court decision affirming transgender rights and she did a video celebrating gay pride in June. In a press release some months ago Eaton reminded that the ELCA supports abortion rights when she thought some conservative states would make restrictions on abortion. The ELCA continues its practice of paying for abortion for any reason in the denomination's healthcare plan, which is funded by offering dollars. Yes, that is right, your ELCA offering dollars can go toward killing unborn children for any reason whatsoever.

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Tom Brock

Thoroughly disgusting display. Pelosi is one of the leaders of the attempted communist takeover of the United States. She was one of the ringleaders of this phony Russian coup to get rid of a duly elected president. She is helping orchestrate these national riots, supporting defunding our police, and is part of a devious plan to destroy our suburbs. The list goes on and on. Any supporter of her, her party, her allies is supporting evil. This denomination is purely political and is completely oppositional to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The ELCA's pastors and bishops are far more liberal than parishioners. Consider these statistics that will strike terror into the hearts of ELCA hirelings. After decades of relentless campaigning by ELCA leaders, many parishioners are by no means ready to cave in to their apostate clerics and meekly say, "I got my mind right, boss."

'It’s Not Just Evangelicals: Trump and Mainline Protestantism'
-- https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2019/08/mainline-protestants-donald-trump/

. . . "As religion reporter Emily McFarlan Miller had predicted, the 2019 ELCA assembly offered “a window into the issues important to many progressive Christians across the country.” But how many of the ELCA’s 3.5 million members are actually (politically) progressive?

"Consider some of the numbers that political scientist Ryan Burge has been crunching from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES), which surveys over 64,000 Americans every two years. Not only do 49% of ELCA respondents in the 2018 CCES identify as Republican(vs. 42% as Democrats), but even more approve of Donald Trump: 52% of those Lutherans, 35% strongly. When Burge drilled down to look at religious behavior, he found that ELCA support for Trump was strongest among those who attended church most often and weakest among those who show up just once or twice a year.

. . . "There’s also a divide between clergy and laity. Consider a 2017 article by political scientists Eitan Hersh and Gabrielle Malina., who wondered just how partisan Christian pastors and their flocks were. Using earlier versions of the CCES survey and public data from the 29 states where voters register by political party, they found that clergy partisanship varies dramatically, if predictably, by denomination. Not only did nearly 100% of the ELCA’s seminary faculty register as Democrats, but so too did 73% of its pastors — vs. just 46% of the ELCA respondents in the CCES data, one of the biggest clergy-laity divides in the study."

Pelosi is also orchestrating a massive voter fraud plan centered on mail-in voting. It is a devious plan and believe nothing she, the media or any of their allies (including the ELCA) says. Orchestrated lies. Listen to the Mark Levin podcast for details.

I also learned today that the ELCA is a member of the National Council of Churches, which is a communist front group in America. Google it, unless google has hidden the articles, try bing. The dots are connecting.

Aptly phrased, Pastor Brock: "The ELCA doesn't lean to the left, it falls over to the left."

There isn't a more obedient Democrat Party sycophant than this dead and withering branch of Mainline Protestantism. If the DNC -- and Planned Parenthood, GLAAD, and Hamas -- like it, it's a lead-pipe cinch the ELCA will be flacking for it.

The Spiritual and Moral Bankruptcy of ‘Progressive’ Christianity
-- https://stream.org/spiritual-moral-bankruptcy-progressive-christianity/
. . . "So, these folks can have their 'progressive' religion (although I pray they’ll see the light). I’ll stay with the Jesus of the Bible, the Jesus who liberates and transforms, the Jesus who doesn’t affirm us in our sin but delivers us out of it.

"He was good enough for the last 2,000 years. He’ll be good enough for eternity."

My congregation (now almost entirely seniors and elders) does not subscribe to anything the ELCA teaches...or so I thought. The pastor does, though deceptively. I am possibly the only person who knows she performed a lesbian “wedding” outside of the church grounds for non-members. The following week she polled the church to see if we would be open to doing gay weddings at the church, never disclosing the gay “wedding” she performed. To my horror, half of the congregation was ok with doing these so-called weddings! I only attend occasionally to keep my aged mom company because she does altar care, and I’m stuck on a committee too for my term. My dad, wisely, stopped going entirely. I regret the day I ever agreed to that committee nomination.

The ELCA apostates are nothing if not dishonestly stealthy. Witness this letter posted elsewhere on Dan's website. (In fact, give it to your ELCA pastor and ask her what she has to say about it.)

Letter to Bishop Eaton -- http://lutherancore.website/2020/08/01/letter-to-bishop-eaton-2/

. . ."The [ELCA] ministry policies, adopted in 2009, only had to do with people in (PALMS) “publicly accountable, lifelong, monogamous, same-gender relationships.” That phrase was used repeatedly. The policies did not have to do with B, T, Q, I, A, or +. They only had to do with a certain group of L and G – those who are in “publicly accountable, lifelong, monogamous, same-gender relationships.” And yet what does the ELCA claim to be celebrating? The tenth anniversary of LGBTQIA+ persons’ “being able to serve freely in the church.” This is language that you yourself have used. In a letter dated June 29, 2020 you wrote, “And it wasn’t until 2009 that barriers to ordination were removed for LGBTQIA+ individuals in committed relationships.”

"The 2009 human sexuality social statement described four positions, each of which would have a place within the church. All four of those positions are more conservative and traditional than the full LGBTQIA+ agenda which the ELCA has now totally embraced and claims to be celebrating the tenth anniversary of.

"One of the RESOLVED sections in the 2009 ministry policies states, “RESOLVED, that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America make provision in its policies to recognize the conviction of members who believe that this church should not call or roster people in a publicly accountable, lifelong, monogamous, same gender relationship.” What has the ELCA done to “recognize the conviction” of members who hold to traditional views? In 2018 at the youth gathering, the assembly was addressed by a transgender activist (which was outside of what had been approved by the church) and another keynote speaker led the young people in renouncing traditional views as a lie. The home page of the ELCA website now contains a link to ReconcilingWorks and its resources. No support is ever given to traditional views in the selection of speakers for youth gatherings or in links to resources on the home page of the website. And no concern or support has ever been expressed by you for those who fear that they might be adversely affected by Supreme Court decisions regarding same sex marriage and/or LGBTQIA+ rights.

. . . "How can the ELCA be trusted? How can the ELCA be seen as having moral integrity and authority when it neither honors the commitments nor respects the boundaries from the 2009 human sexuality social statement and ministry policies? What would happen if any branch of the government were to take a law passed eleven years ago – or anyone were to take a business contract signed eleven years ago – and then claim that it said something different from what it actually said?

"Going forward, why would anyone on any side of any issue trust that any decision made by any Churchwide Assembly would be honored?"

The saying: "Birds of a feather flock together" seems to apply to our "unbiased" Bishop Eaton!
