​Dear church,
In the book of Leviticus we read: "You shall not render an unjust judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbor" (19:15).
Our social message on Community Violence urges us to become more involved in countering the reality and fear of violence in our communities and our neighbors' communities, pursuing justice and seeking peace no matter how long the journey or complex the challenge.
When a child is allowed to become a vigilante in our society without recourse, we are forced to confront the idols of our society: guns, violence and white supremacy. To be sure, this is not about one person, but indeed about all of us, together.
Today's acquittal is an injustice. It points to the disorder in which we all live. As we seek to restore justice, so also will we restore God to God's rightful place at the center of our life together.
In Christ, The Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton
Presiding Bishop Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

The ELCA has been an apostate denomination for decades. They are all in favor of abortion and homosexuality and anything liberal. They don’t believe the Bible. Really sad and pathetic.
Figures! It’s a female! Full of compassion and justice...I’m sure she listens to Joy Behar and thinks these men were blacks and he is a privileged child who slings guns around for the fun of it!
A G. Soros project.

Self defense isn’t vigilantism.
That “church” is neither “evangelical” nor “Lutheran”.
It’s barely more than a social club promoting shallow Christianity and a false Christ.
Lutherans haven’t been evangelical in centuries.

Stick to what you know, Rev. Eaton. Or like Pope Francis, are you an expert on every last thing?
Yep. Same here. Left as soon as they endorsed queer marriage and queer pastors.
Oh, her message definitely was not "In Christ".
Rev.Elizabeth???
Do NOT judge, lest ye be judged.
The Lutheran Church in America, one of the antecedants to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America began ordaining women to the presbyterate in 1973.
Where were the heretical filthy pigs when rioters were looting and burning down cities last year?
Eat my shorts, Liz!
If Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz had killed Rittenhouse instead, and had gone to trial and were acquitted, I am going to make a wild guess that she would have said justice was done —if— she made any mention of the case at all.
My great-grandparents were all German Lutherans who came over 1848-1881.
My grandma went to a Congregational Church - but she went to Midnight Mass every Christmas Eve at a Lutheran church quite a distance away.
It’s sad to see the old churches die.
