Much to her credit, former Bishop Carol S. Hendrix of the Lower Susquehanna Synod, ELCA, always scheduled the annual Bishop’s Convocation to coincide with Holy Cross Day and began the day with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Newly elected Bishop B. Penrose Hoover has continued that tradition this year, but, as the presentations (following Eucharist) will be nothing but a sales pitch for the “One Lutheran” campaign (the ELCA version of the UN Millenium Development Goals so ballyhooed by TEC’s PBp Katherine Schori) yours truly is conspicuously absent from the gathering.
I refuse to equate the MDG’s with the Kingdom of God!
The MDGs and “ONE Lutheran” represent support for the tyrannical and antichrist New World Order/”Global Union”. Tbis is truly another gospel, with neither Cross nor Resurrection nor Holy Trinity.
