While I understand your being upset, and while I disagree strongly with what the Rev. Benke did, and think it is grounds for his removal as president, I must come to his defense here. I don't think we can judge his motives. We must judge his public behavior, but we cannot judge his motives in this instance.
We have a lot of former Lutherans, and former Catholics, and former Methodists, ...... .
The unofficial motto is "if it ain't ecumenical it just ain't right". Of course he may well have to be rebaptised (just in case he was "dipped" as an infant), and he'll have to get used to "Communion" being a commemoration of the coming together at meal time with Jesus!
Otherwise, he'll be OK and can go pray with Buddhists, Hindus, Moslems, sinners, and anybody he wants in his spare time. "Oh, just as I am without one sin......" will bring joy to his ears as he steps forward for the big change.
Yeah, I know...I posted while I was angry. I apologize to the LCMS Freepers and Benke for calling him scum - that wasn't very Christian of me. But throughout this whole mess, Benke and his supporter's actions are speaking much louder than their words, and this was just another case in point.
