ELCA Presiding Bishop Mark S. Hanson, first elected in AD 2001 was VOTED OUT OF OFFICE today at the ELCA Churchwide Assembly in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

His successor is Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, who has served as Bishop of the Northeast Ohio Synod since AD 2006. She was reelected last year.

Prior to her election as a Synod Bishop she served exclusively in parish ministry, the final 15 years in the same parish.

Bp. Eaton: I would be honored to be Elisha to your Elijah.

Clearly a humble man, this PB Eaton. Clearly.

Skimming through the article (skim is the best I do with the elca anymore) Eaton represents continuity.

So, Hanson could have been reelected, but wasn’t? Eaton - what’s your take Pastor?

Note that Eaton doesn’t directly answer a single one of the questions put to her. A dying denomination hammers another nail in the coffin.

I am celebrating the Orthodox Feast of the Dormition of the Most-Holy Theotokos today, and received the Holy Mysteries at Divine Liturgy this morning! Joyous Feast, and the Blessings of the All-Holy Trinity to all reading this!!!!!

The pseudo-bishop Elizabeth Eaton, however, is a feminazi graduate of Harvard Divinity School!

The ELCA is now celebrating a “milestone”—the election of their first woman presiding “bishop”. However, that is no milestone at all. NOTHING will change—it will be heresy, gaydom, and dhimmitude AS USUAL!!!!

If y’all want to check out the Orthodox Church, better late than never. Our Lord forgave and abundantly blessed the Holy Apostle Thomas, who was late both for the Resurrection of Our Lord and the Dormition of His Mother. He will forgive and abundantly bless you all as well!!!!
