(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.) ELCA former bishop to teens: “I’m pissed off” about school shootings, “I grieve” unclean water, “I am furious” about separation of children at the border, but says nothing about separation of children in the womb Former bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Reverend Stephen Bouman, told 31,000 Lutheran teenagers at the ELCA’s youth assembly last week that he is angry about school shootings, the unclean environment, blaming Muslims, and separating children at the border. But in his speech he said nothing about the tragedy of separating children in the womb. Why? The ELCA is so radically pro-choice that it pays for abortion for any reason in the ELCA healthcare plan, which is funded by offering dollars. That’s right, your ELCA offering dollars at work, killing unborn children. I believe people who are pro-choice should sit out the discussion about separating children from their mothers. If you have any doubt that the ELCA wants its teenagers to be liberal democrats, endorse things like “Black Lives Matter”, etc., watch the below video. The ELCA claims to be a “big tent” which welcomes everyone, including conservatives. No sign of that in this message. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock

Why do these guys have to use coarse language. Don't they trust in plain talk to get there point across? Were they so good as middle schoolers that they didn't use coarse language then??

Whatever the world's itching ears want to hear is invariably and exactly what the Ear-tickling "Lutheran" "Church" in America will be sententiously spouting.

I agree. Even in our soon-to-be-former church that is not in a progressive urban area by any means it seems that pastors try to shock us with their language, metaphors, etc. I'm not even close to perfect in my language, but shouldn't we expect pastors to aspire to a higher standard? We want pastors to be shepherds, not shock jocks.

I kept waiting for him to get to his point. I'm still waiting... I did notice how he used the pacing of his words and the tone of his voice to let his words sink in emotionally. However, I'm still wondering what his main point was. Really, he was just trying to move the people into so-called "social good works". And let's see, did he ever share the gospel of Jesus Christ? Uh, no. And, uh, what was his point? I'm still waiting...
