Social Justice Speech that Includes Calling Holy Spirit 'She' By VP Of ELCA Synod

7/18/2019

1 Comment

 
"The Holy Spirit knows what she is doing when she raises up leaders."  (3:10 minute mark)

"But the Holy Spirit, well she will not be denied." (11:35 minute mark)

These are statements of the ELCA's Florida-Bahamas Synod Vice President Cheryl Stuart, given at the Florida-Bahamas Synod Assembly. (See below)

​If you listen to the synod vice president's message you will hear it is mostly comprised of social justice rhetoric, including those favorable to transgenders, illegal immigrants and homosexuality. 

Vice President Stuart even called the 2009 ELCA vote "to say 'Yes' to LGBTQ clergy and partner relationships staying in the pulpit," "prophetic." 

This is the state of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Attacking America and Israel

5/25/2019

1 Comment

 
Elle Dowd is a student at the ELCA's Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago. Two recent Facebook post by this student are posted below. The first contains a picture of Elle in or near Israel with a head covering and a closed fist up in the air. Part of her comments with this picture were:

"Our US tax dollars fund an occupation that is violently enforced, including the use of the same chemical weapons against the Palestinians that we choked on in St Louis during the uprising."
Picture

"Free Palestine.

​
From Ferguson to Palestine, occupation is a crime."

You should read the whole post because not only does it proclaim a lie, saying Israel occupies "Palestine," but she makes no mention of the violence, terror tunnels, arson, knifing, rockets attacks and pedestrians being hit by cars, perpetrated by Palestinians.
​

(See here) 

The second Facebook post by ELCA Masters of Divinity student Elle Dowd equally contains falsehoods. She writes: 
​
"...Michael Brown was sacrificed to the false god of white supremacy."

"...we sacrificed Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin and Felipe Alonzo-Gomez to the false gods of nationalism and security."

​"...Christian counseling centers...torture lgbtqia+ children and call it 'reparative therapy,' leading to the death of countless children."

Presiding Bishop of the ELCA is Confused In More Ways Than One

3/31/2019

6 Comments

 
ELCA Presiding Bishop​ Elizabeth Eaton tweeted:

I am trying to understand the president’s decision to cut aid to Guatemala El Salvador Honduras. The rich and the governments of these countries will not bear the brunt, the poor who are leaving to seek asylum will.

— Bishop Eaton (@ELCABishopEaton) March 31, 2019

So the poor that are LEAVING Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras seeking asylum in the United States will be hurt by President Trump's decision to cut aid to those countries?

ELCA Pastor Says 'ICE Has Become a Personal Army For Nationalism'

2/16/2019

0 Comments

 
Rev. Lenny Duncan is a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). You may remember reading about Rev. Duncan elsewhere on Exposing the ELCA. (See here) 

Rev. Duncan made some radical claims on Twitter a couple months ago calling ICE a "personal army for nationalism" and saying "the border has become the landscape for the existential threat to whiteness." 


Picture

ICE has become a personal army for nationalism in the US and the border has become the landscape for the existential threat to whiteness. The death pangs of white supremacy in this country is a hopeful but also extremely dangerous time. It’s like being locked in a small room

ELCA Pastor John Sipf's Views

2/11/2019

2 Comments

 
The following is a response by ELCA pastor John Sipf of Peoria, Illinois, to my tweet replying to another ELCA pastor. We were discussing this blog about an ELCA pastor giving the camera the finger and his rant against America. 

Oh, Danny boy... unlike *ahem* "some" not everyone masterbates to their hatred of the ELCA.

— John Sipf (@Pr_JT_Sipf) December 19, 2018

ELCA pastor John Sipf regularly tweets and retweets about white people, racism, politics, Donald Trump, refugees and illegal immigrants, transgenders, abortion, etc. Below are a few examples of his activity on Twitter. 
​ 

Jesus killed by Pilate and the centurions

Children killed by Trump and ICE.

America, we are Rome and Babylon.

What're we gonna do about it? https://t.co/jD5m7Ifpvm

ELCA Church Gives Sanctuary

11/18/2018

0 Comments

 
See the ELCA church's tweet below. It doesn't say what the referred to family needs sanctuary from, but you all probably have a good guess. Two ELCA church's are involved. 

A fellow ELCA church has been providing sanctuary to Ms. Vargas and her family. Consider attending this event to help raise funds to provide for this family. https://t.co/vkx9R9UjXw

— Trinity Lutheran (@TLC_Columbus) September 23, 2018
The tweeted link says "Miriam Vargas entered sanctuary on June 27, 2018 at First English Lutheran Church."  

The fundraising event was hosted by the 
Columbus Sanctuary Collective. Here is what that group's Facebook page looks like.

ELCA Bishop Writes of 'White Nationalist Anti-Immigration folks'

10/26/2018

2 Comments

 
Bishop Michael Rinehart of the ELCA's Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod often spouts his political and social justice opinions online. Yesterday he wrote about the migrant caravan heading to the United States saying, "There are no terrorists in the caravan,.." Of course he has no way to know this. 

The bishop continues, "...though the white nationalist anti-immigration folks want you to think so."

Bishop on Immigrants

10/14/2018

0 Comments

 
Jim Hazelwood, the ELCA's New England Synod Bishop, presents a skewed view of Scripture and is manipulating it to try and fit it into the refugee situation happening in the United States. 

For the last three days I’ve been posting Bible verses to show that this Book has a 1,000 year call on the side of the immigrant, the outcast & the orphan. And that those who use sacred texts to justify their views to the contrary are WRONG!

— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) June 21, 2018

The Bible was written by a people who were on the receiving end of opprsession, and dominance. If you read it without that awareness, you miss, oh say, about 98% of its message.

— Jim Hazelwood (@bishophazelwood) July 12, 2018

If we are going to quote the Bible on a policy issue, how about opening up the WHOLE book instead of just the one verse that justifies your own thinking.
