I can tell from what she wrote: she is NOT “In Christ”.
“The ELCA is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States”
This is a lie. They pretend to be Christian, but they are not.
Who asked them? If Antifa burned their property down they would be singing a different tune. Kyle would be the one trying to put the fire out.
“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.”
What about the violence the rioters unleashed on Kenosha pastor? What about the fear those people who watched their businesses burn? Seems Kyle was just trying to counter their fears and got attacked for it.

Problem identified.
I remember the response of a an old Catholic priest when I asked him about the Jehovah’s witnesses.
“There’s no evidence, at any time, that Jehovah asked those clowns to be his witnesses.”
QED
Here is what a REAL Lutheran Pastor (Rev. Peter Speckhard, LCMS) has written in response to Eaton’s screed:
“There are several problems with Bp. Eaton’s take, beyond simply not bringing Gospel to the table. For one thing, white supremacy had nothing to do with the trial. People had plenty of time to learn from how horrible the early reports and responses were on that score. More importantly, she seems to have viewed the trial as a statement about whether a child should be allowed to become a vigilante, with a guilty verdict being proper “recourse” and an acquittal demonstrating that there is no recourse. But that is a flagrantly unjust view of a criminal proceeding. The trial was not about whether the gun laws are good, whether protesters were on the side of justice, whether the Blake shooting was justified, whether race relations suffer from systemic abuses, whether white males are too smug and macho when they pose with guns, or anything like that. A symbol of a social problem was not going to be spending his life in jail, a person was. For all the talk about flagrant disregard of human life hurled at Rittenhouse, it would behoove a church’s social statement not to exhibit flagrant disregard of human life. But that’s what this social statement does. It declares that justice demand Rittenhouse be imprisoned for life for doing something clearly legal. The jury was tasked to determine one thing— was Rittenhouse acting in self-defence according to the law (or is there at least reasonable doubt)? The clear and obvious answer to that question is yes, he was, and therefore he was not guilty. That is the only kind of justice the courtroom was tasked with providing and even capable of providing, and it provided it. Had the judge instructed the jury to determine whether it is right that children can become vigilantes without recourse, there would have been immediate grounds for appeal to a more sane court. “
Most of our mainline church denominations have changed from conservative to liberal since the 1960’s. The ELCA has become one of the lost liberal of all. Some of the other Lutheran churches remain conservative such as the Missouri Synod.
Speaking of slings, she probably thinks young David who killed Goliath was a vigilante and juvenile delinquent.
Every time I drive past the one in town, I want to tear down their rainbow chart showing how inclusive they are. Blech! To think I actually went to that church a few times. smh
GAY!
Glad I left that shipwreck a decade ago.

I left after completing confirmation class at 12 years old and asked my pastor
if lutheranism was based on salvation through grace through faith
why did he contend that infant baptism conveyed salvation
and all I got was my first encounter with weasels and weasel words.
( heavy sigh )
.
It isn’t Christianity that sucks but these mainline denominations.
Good Lord. This church has no belief in the presumption of innocence. Or the American justice system.
Pseudo-bishop Elizabeth A. Eaton is a feminazi graduate of Harvard Divinity School!!!! There seem to be quite a number of them among the female “bishops” of the ELCA!!!!
May our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, and his dear Mother the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary bless Kyle Rittenhouse all the days of his life!!!! May they also lead more and more people out of the ELCA and other heretical “churches”, and lead them into the Holy Orthodox Church!!!! AMEN!!!!
+1
>May they also lead more and more people out of the ELCA and other heretical “churches”, and lead them into the Holy Orthodox Church!!!! AMEN!!!!
Or to a more G*d oriented and faithful Lutheran church, such as the Missouri Synod.
Probalby because of all the draft dodgers who infested the seminaries during Vietnam.
