Rev. Megan Rohrer is a pastor in the ELCA Lutheran Church who identifies as butch, dyke, queer, and transgender. Rev. Rohrer is the first openly transgender pastor in the Lutheran church. She recently wrote for Living Lutheran, the ELCA's official blog, about a trip with her "wife" to South America. She writes: In Peru, our stay has been wonderful. One hotel owner, after learning we had the same last name, insisted we ...switch from two twin beds to a king-sized one. While there are some countries where you can still be killed for being LGBT, in others it is only our racism that convinces us that the residents couldn't be as progressive as we are... For one of the strangest interviews you'll ever read, see the "Butch in the Clergy" article below about whether Rohrer's congregation calls her "she", "he", or both. This sad, sexual confusion, which Jesus desires to heal, is now given space and, thereby, affirmation on the ELCA website (you will find about 35 of Rohrer's postings at the ELCA blog there). Once again, please pray that many will leave the ELCA for a more Biblical denomination which does not celebrate sin.

For another example of Rev. Megan Rohrer's drivel, click the "Feminist Theology" category in the right-hand margin of this blog and read "ELCA Leader Wants You to Think of Jesus as 'Gender Queer.'"

A truth Megan Rohrer and the ELCA -- the Church of We Judge the Bible, the Bible Doesn’t Judge Us -- would do well to heed:

Two comments by Touchstone Magazine's S. M. Hutchens: one applicable to the "progressive" ELCA's defensiveness when it's reproved for embracing sin, the other on the biblical mandate (2 Cor. 6:14-15) for confessional Christians to leave corrupted denominations.

In its December 2014 newsletter, the farcical LUTHERAN CORE articulates its central tenet: that remaining in the ELCA is morally acceptable. Period. Therefore any whining about ELCA teaching or practice that LUTHERAN CORE may do is mere jabber for the sake of jabber.

I pray that this student finds a way out of this situation. I would suggest he or she should quietly transfer to another school if it is possible. Shake the dust off your sandals. Pray for a means of escape for those who are still trapped in the ELCA. Leave this behind. I really feel for this person. God, please have mercy...
