ELCA Trans Bishop Going Down

When I saw this at The Christian Post, I thought, "What did he/she/it do? 

 The head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has called for the resignation of the liberal mainline denomination's first trans-identified bishop amid allegations of racism and other issues.

ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth A. Eaton issued a statement last Friday concluding that she will not file official charges against The Rev. Megan Rohrer, who was installed last year as the leader of the California-based ELCA Sierra Pacific Synod. However, Eaton still believes that Rohrer should resign.

Last September, Rohrer became the first trans-identified individual to become a bishop in the ELCA. Previously, the bishop served as community chaplain coordinator for the San Francisco Police Department and pastor of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in San Francisco.

After being installed, multiple allegations of racism and other unethical behavior surfaced, with the LGBT group Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries suspending Rohrer's membership.

The resolution cited Rohrer's alleged mistreatment and firing of Pastor Nelson Rabell-Gonzalez of Misión Latina Luterana, litigation surrounding Rohrer's actions as pastor of Grace Lutheran Evangelical Church of San Francisco and other issues.

Bishop Megan Rohrer fired what I assume was a Latino pastor. Is that why the Bishop is accused of racism? No details have been released. There is more, 

"Rohrer's approach to pastoral ministry is incompatible with the expectations of ordained clergy of the ELCA — a pattern of abuse, bullying, manipulation of facts, deceit, and character assassination," stated the resolution.

Abuse, bullying, manipulation of facts, deceit, and character assassination are required qualities in order to be a bishop in the liberal Episcopal organization. Why should the ELCA Lutherans be any different? 

"There are profound issues regarding the circumstances surrounding the end of Nelson Rabell-González' call to the Misión Latina Luterana community on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a day of such importance to that congregation and community,"

The woke crowd may have concluded that to be a racist act.

Eaton said in her Friday statement. "Unwise decisions — while they may be insensitive or in hindsight seen as misguided — are not automatically grounds for discipline," Eaton added.

 Then is there enough evidence for the ELCA to convene disciplinary proceedings? Apparently not,

"A high burden of proof exists to translate allegations into substantive findings that can be presented to a disciplinary body. In this situation that high burden was not able to be met.:

So that is why Bishop Megan was asked to resign, or in Lutheranababble,  

"Moreover, disciplinary proceedings that would be likely to arrive at a similar conclusion as my review are time-consuming and risk delay in the necessary healing processes that must occur."

Let's face it, the ELCA and Bishop Megan are going down because they/ze/zie/xyr have adopted a revisionist approach to Christianity in many ways, not the least of which is ELCA and this trans-identified bishop's interpretation of what God has to say about human sexuality and their/vis/xyr/hir application of that interpretation to ordained ministry.
