This ELCA bishop did not appreciate my Photoshop, which was accidentally sent to him by a church leaving his pontificate in Illinois. |

Square brackets mark what was removed overnight.
Rev. Heidi Borkenhagen, ELCA Grace Lutheran Church, Grafton. ["RIC – What is (sic) needs to be done - complete an Affirmation/Welcome statement (to be completed by committee formed), hold Adult Forums on this throughout the year (options for meeting: – review what Bible does and doesn’t say; have families come in to discuss this; Bill Beyer 1st openly gay pastor in area come talk). Would be looking to have this completed by end of 2019 to have church vote on this at annual meeting. Committee formed could be short term to long term, based on what the committee chooses to do. Council recommends moving forward with presenting information to church leading to vote by end of the year. Pastor Paul, Linda 2nd, approved. Pastor Heidi will head up committee and start getting Adult Forums plan."]

This is the other Pastor Heidi, not the speaker Pastor Heidi. Last names are used by pastors for a reason. This is just one example. |
"Hello! I'm glad you have taken the time to visit Grace's webpage. Grace Lutheran Church is filled with the Spirit of God and with many wonderful people. I look forward to getting to know you. Here's a little bit about me.
I was born in Iowa and also lived in Michigan as a child. I did most of my growing up in Homer Glen, IL, a southwest suburb of Chicago. I played the flute all through high school and college, but my real love turned out to be God and the church. I attended Luther College and through my experience in the classroom and in campus ministry, I decided to dedicate my life to sharing the good news of Jesus with others. I graduated from Luther with a degree in psychology and then spent one year as a live-in nanny for four children! I had 3 wonderful years at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and one great year doing an internship in campus and parish ministry in Saint Louis, MO. In May 2007 I graduated with a Masters of Divinity. I moved to Grafton in July 2007 and love living and serving here. I especially enjoy preaching, working with the high school youth group, leading women's groups and TNT (Grace's Young Adults Group)."

GJ - I suppose someone might use the Wayback machine to find the missing words. But this way, with the information gone from the Internet, someone can claim, "No, that never happened!" Or in WELS - "Who told you? Where did you read that?"
The evidence is clear. Overnight the hidden agenda was tucked away - where discerning eyes could not find it. Pastor Heidi on the Jeske Steerage Committee is once again the harmless newbie in the autobiography above - not the new hire who is carrying out the ELCA agenda against the laws of Nature and of Nature's God.
She was clearly given a job to do, keep pressing the Reconciled in Christ agenda until the parish became a RIC congregation.
Perhaps the wise men from the East (Chicago-Milwaukee) felt fewer would come to a joint ministerial training meeting when the two lady pastors from ELCA symbolize what is worst about the amalgamated sect.
Pastor Mike is taking over Time of Grace, and they are not far behind ELCA. |
