NYer, so much better said than my post #39, that it makes you seem like such a much better Christian than I, which is also probably reflective of a deeper truth.
This Lutheran bishop would seem to personify all that is wrong with "state" churches". She was not called by any group of congregations nor even appointed by a church magisterium, rather by the Queen of Denmark. She answers neither to her flock nor to her pope, but to the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs. To the bishop and her church, Scripture seems to have significance only as an ancient fable, much as the Iliad or the Odyssey.
