A woman pastor.
It figures.
A verse of Scripture for her to consider…..
Proverbs 17:15 He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
Kyle was rightly declared not guilty of the charges brought against him. It was not injustice as there was no proof beyond a reasonable doubt that there was premeditation or intent. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could see from the surveillance videos that he was being chased and defending himself.
As for skateboard dude who tried to kill him by smacking him upside the head with that weapon on wheels, the idiot grabbed the barrel of the gun while it was pointing point blank at his chest and yanked on the gun to pull it out from Kyle’s hands.
IMO, HE was responsible for his own death. IMO, Kyle did not intentionally pull the trigger, It probably got pulled when skateboard dude tried to pull it out of his hands while he was hanging on to it.
Something about stupid prizes.

I have no problem with her expressing her opinion. I have a huge problem with her presenting herself as a Christian.
I’m sure my former Presbyterian church believes the same rubbish.
“””Glad I left that shipwreck a decade ago.”””
Ditto here. I just sent this letter to a cousin suggesting that we need to have our names scrubbed from the baptismal and confirmation records at the ECLA church where it happened.
The ‘reverend’ Elizabeth is an Apostate......so is her so called church
This so-called “Rev” is way off the mark.
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.
When a child has to try to protect a city where his father lives, and do the job the Police, Mayor and Governor should have done ...

Problem identified.
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.
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.
