I linked into a number of nauseating stories this evening and decided not one of them was new, noteworthy, or surprising. They are the necessary sequel of the 1989 development of ELCA. They stole the name ELCA, which was already used a long time for a tiny group of Pietists. Another debacle - The Gotterdammerung - or Twilight of the Gods - arrived in 2009. Dressing up paganism as the greatest event since 1530, ELCA continued the custom of promoting the worst and least able to lead them forth.
Eaton was quickly promoted from local partial-state bishop to Lord High Bishop, modestly entitled Presiding Bishop of the ELCA. Remember how patient the radicals were in having their time of frolicking with the offerings of the faithful? All things new were building up to a mudslide of massive proportions.
That began with a female bishop or two, not unlike the first couple of female chaplains long ago, so they could build momentum at Harvard and MIT. A male bishop has conveniently tracked the growth of female bishops, now 55% of all the bishops. I am not sure where Megan Rohrer fit, given a new and touchy equation in their sensitive teeter-totter ELCA.
