CHICAGO — The Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), joined leaders from the National Council of Churches (NCC) in an open letter to Vice President Mike Pence, members of Congress and the Cabinet, calling for the removal of President Donald Trump from office.

The letter states: "Our faith instructs us to take seriously positions of leadership, not to lead others astray and to be careful about what we say and do.

"For the good of the nation, so that we might end the current horror and prepare the way for binding up the nation's wounds, we, as leaders of the member communions of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC), believe the time has come for the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, to resign his position immediately."

What is wrong with these people? The basement dwelling usurper is supposedly taking over in a week. Why say anything? Extremely unChristian to go along with slander and false witness testimony.

Trump was the only guy with any common sense last year.

So this year, they try to frame him and hound him out of
office.

Screw these AHs and the pig they rode in on.

“Our faith instructs us to take seriously positions of leadership, not to lead others astray and to be careful about what we say and do.”

+++++++

That’s pretty funny coming from a liberal Protestant, especially that “not lead others astray” part.

Wasn’t the National Council of Churches identified by the FBI as a Soviet front organization in the 1960’s?

"For the good of the nation, so that we might end the current horror [...]

Notice that the letter doesn't actually explicitly describe that supposed horror, nor bother to expressly state how President Trump - and no one else - is allegedly responsible for it.

As Saturday Night Live's "Church Lady" would say, "How convee-eenient!

My Lutheran pastor told us during confirmation classes when I was a kid that the reason he would not accept invitations to meet with various so called religious organizations was that they were political and subversive. He said the WCC and NCC were not what they sounded like but were communist fronts. The reason it came up was that some congregation members wanted to know why he wasn’t “getting along” with other churches in the community.
