Intrepid Lutherans: Thrivent selling hangman's rope:
At what point will Lutherans scrum up the courage to confront Thrivent's ecumenism?
Last fall Thrivent For Lutherans co-sponsored an evening lecture at the Interfaith Center at the Presidio near San Francisco by author Lynne Twist. Although Thrivent has recently openly communicated its intention to abandon its Lutheran heritage (as if its Habitat for Humanity and Salvation Army efforts weren't clear enough), it had no excuse as a "faith based organization" (as Thrivent describes itself) to financially support a Mystic trying to improve the condition of people's souls.
Alarmingly, Lynne Twist was the keynote speaker for Thrivent's 2010 national sales conference at the Minneapolis HQ.
Reading my partial transcript below of the Interfaith presentation doesn't do it justice. It must be experienced. Too many times she approached what could have developed into a Scriptural point on stewardship or contentment in Christ, but swerved off the road and into the "Self," "The Other," or "Consciousness." Here is the embedded video.

Intrepid Brian Heyer did the right thing in calling attention to Thrivent's (and thereby every Lutheran Synod member's) support for New Age occultist Lynne Twist.
It's important to note that Lynne participated with Charles Gibbs, Executive Director of URI.

Thrivent was directly supporting the ED for the United Nation's global religious denomination called the United Religions Initiative. It is as directly satanic as any religion can become.

“This proposed new global system is highly interdependent as, in the same manner that the human body assigns different tasks to its various organs, each region is assigned specialized and specific tasks, and is each is dependent on the others for their common survival… The resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more than 500 million but less than one billion.” – Goals for Mankind, a report by The Club of Rome

The Lutheran Synods (and their members) finance not only each other through Thrivent but also LWR (Lutheran World Relief) which also supports United Nations objectives and it's existance. LWR is LCMS President Harrison's favored "charitable" effort. Not only is the United Nations murdering men, women and children around the world but also supports the Lucis Trust - formally called the Lucifer Trust.
The Lucis Trust
This organisation was originally founded in the 1920s by the renowned occultist Alice Bailey under the name of the Lucifer Publishing Company. The Trust is recognised by the United Nations as a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) and is represented at regular briefing sessions at the UN. The Lucis Trust is also a member of the UN Economic and Social Council. Interestingly Robert Muller served as the Secretary of this Council for many years. Until recently the Lucis Trust was located at 666 United Nations Plaza and lists its official sponsors as the UN, Greenpeace and Amnesty International.

Brian Heyer is on the right track but is he ready for what he'll find - and do the Lutheran laity care enough to do something about it.

...from Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity
"ThriventBuilds continues on Wilcox Street; an Adult Interfaith Social event for peace and understanding; and, lots of momentum to keep us moving forward!"
"The house of Abraham program is an exciting intiative that brings together Christians, Jews, and Muslims to promote peace building and carry forward Hartford Habitat's vission of "Building More Than a House"."

GJ - That has been Mark Jeske's modus operandi for many years, so he fits right in with Thrivent. Birds of a feather do flock together.
