{Lutheran High School of Greater Minneapolis found itself in such a situation with Roger Franzen, a gay pastor/teacher who taught religion at the school. Discussions ensued following this discovery and Franzen agreed to resign at the end of the 2000 school year while remaining “closeted and celibate.”
Less than two years later, attorneys came out of the woodwork to help Franzen sue the school and denomination for discrimination and invasion of privacy.
Minnesota‘s Human Rights Act, particularly as amended by the infamous 1994 gay rights amendment, seems to specifically afford religious institutions these discretions. The Franzen case should get nowhere fast.}

All Bible-believing schools ought to require pastors & teachers to sign statements affirming their allegiance to Biblical principles. There are too many churches that have been taken over by False Prophets.

The high school is one of ours (Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod), and Franzen was on our clergy roster.

Was.

When it became known that he was a homosexual, he was removed from our clergy roster, which is right and proper. We do not allow known homosexuals to be pastors or teachers in the LCMS.
