Below are more disturbing and racist tweets by ELCA pastor Tuhnia Verma Rasche, who the ELCA chose to speak to 31,000 youth at the 2018 ELCA Youth Gathering this summer. (Read more about her here and here)

So when are we going to enact a ban on white men in the US or create a white man registry? Because y'all are dangerous... https://t.co/8MUORE7CaR

Evangelism needs to be liberated from the idolatry of White American Evangelical "Christianity".

"Evangelism" in this aspect is just another idol to add to the golden calf collection.

I'm concerned that with the lies continuing to be uncovered in this administration, rich white men can get away with *anything.*

"omfgsmdh" tells you much of what you need to know about this fraud who calls herself a pastor.

For those who don't keep up with the latest debauched blasphemies of the world and the ELCA (now totally indistinguishable from one another), the translation is "Oh my f***ing God, shaking my damn head."

Behold the kind of hireling the ELCA saw fit to inflict on their youth this summer.

Give Luther the last word about ELCA wolves in cleric's clothing:

"There is no more terrible plague, misfortune or cause for distress upon earth than a preacher who does not preach God's Word; of whom, alas, the world today is full; and yet they think they are pious and do good when indeed their whole work is nothing but murdering souls, blaspheming God and setting up idolatry, so that it would be much better for them if they were robbers, murderers, and the worst scoundrels, for then they would know that they are doing wickedly. But now they go along under spiritual names... and are at the same time ravening wolves in sheeps' clothing, and it would be well if no one ever heard their preaching."

Apparently Rasche and her fringe are oblivious to the fact that the face in the upper right of her white terrorist photo line-up is none other than Dylann Roof, the ELCA's own homegrown Charleston shooter! The blind leading the blind, dear people. I'm just glad to be out of the ELCA crossfire going on 9 years now.

Once upon a time, when history was considered important and something that could be learned from (lest it be repeated), we knew that Lutheranism was not “the church,” but only the part of it manifest in parts of northern Europe. When many of those northern European Lutherans emigrated to America, they brought with them their various European cultures, including their religion, and set about turning America into the proverbial melting pot. The first step in learning to be an American was to learn English, and that was a priority among them. WW II did more than anything else to turn the hyphenated American into an American, and somehow there came to be a sense that schism was, if not the greatest, certainly one of the two or three greatest problems facing Christianity. The biggest divide was, of course, that between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism—however manifest.

The 1980s euphoria over ecumenism somehow fizzled. But, nonetheless, the sense remained that Lutherans in America were not the church, but only part of something larger which was the church. In the 1960s Winthrop Hudson put a mantle on the Lutherans to be leaders in the drive toward unity on account of three things: their creedal position, their surviving liturgical tradition and their sense of community. The weakest link in that chain was that “sense of community” because it was dependent upon ethnic and cultural ties that were being lost to a larger Americanism. Still even with only lip service to the creed (according to Nadia Weber no one believes the whole thing anyway) and only rote formal attention to the liturgy, Lutheranism still seemed to understand that it was only a part of a larger whole. Then came the ELCA which even formally determined not to be a part of the church, but a microcosm of it, needing a membership whose ethic and racial makeup ought to mirror that of society at large.

The “whiteness” of the ELCA is due to its history (but, once again, in this culture of narcissism history is irrelevant). If Tuhina had a broader view of “the church,” she might come to see that the problem the church faces is not the “whiteness” of the ELCA but the divisions within the larger church. I am a Lutheran, but I have brothers and sisters worshiping in Roman Catholic, African-American, Southern Baptist, and just about every other organization (whether it claims to be creedal or not) that acknowledges One God in Three Persons as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We would also do well to learn that the reformers of the sixteenth century, whom we revere as our spiritual mentors and guides, could not image there being more than one church in any given location at a time.

Only in America is division taken to be the norm and standard to the extreme that it is here. Denominationalism worked during Christendom. It won’t work in the post-Christian era. Instead of dissing the whiteness of the ELCA Tuhina and the likes of her ought to be giving thanks to God for every white soul, male and female, that sings the praise of Father, Son and Holy Spirit as well as those of red, yellow, brown and black hues that do the same (and pray for those of every hue who have lost their way). She might also give thanks for all those “white dudes” who carried the faith through the centuries, entrusting it from one generation to the next. But, that, again, would require giving some deference to history, and for narcissism….

Some of us understand that the commandment to honor father and mother takes us ultimately back to our first parents, Adam and Eve, and that all of us are members of Adam’s race. We don’t show that very well, but showing the world that we are all of one blood will not be furthered by attacking any part of the human family—including old white men. Honoring father and mother, once again, takes us to the past. If the past is irrelevant, then our fathers and mothers have nothing to say to the present. There is no honor given to the past, only disdain for it.

There is a saying that parents give their children but two things: they give them roots and the give them wings. To disdain the past is not to understand it and finally to deny the roots that are needed to sustain life and carry it into the future. Without those roots, even if the narcissistic present took as a gift the wings their forebears would like to pass onto them, they’d only find that they were flying rudderless into the future. Unfortunately for Tuhina and the likes of her, in that flight into the future they won’t miss not having a rudder because they also have no gyroscope, radar or compass. For Tuhina, her only reference point is herself. But, that’s what narcissism is all about. She will have her own reality in which evil is in some other she has come to hate, instead of in the pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust that

She could go to Ethiopian Lutheran Church except the fact they have broken with the ELCA.
