Should have already been grieving over having an unrepentant member who made a living killing babies.

They could talk about the One who love us first, and how He created life and deemed it to be precious, far more so than this man or his killer deemed it to be.

Tiller's family requested College Hill because it offers more available seating than Reformation. Yeah, I'm sure. This is one "tragedy" the left won't fail to promote. They'll probably be able to get Super Bowl advertising rates.
To: lightman
Are they going to "grieve" any of the sixty thousand babies he murdered?
Yeah ... right ...

Michelson is preparing to preach the funeral sermon. He said the family selected verses from the Gospel of John, in which Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live." Others at the funeral will reflect on Tiller's life, and Michelson said he plans to "talk about the promises of God and the hope that we have in the one who loved us first."
These people are completely disconnected from the reality of Tiller's life.
Perhaps they should read from the portion of the Acts of the Apostles where the remaining Apostles held a funeral for Judas Iscariot . . . oh yeah that didn't happen.

There are so many things wrong about this press release it is hard to know where to begin, but I will begin near the beginning:
"All the different stages and symptoms of grief are happening here," said the Rev. Lowell R. Michelson, senior pastor for Reformation, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
The very FIRST thing quoted from this Pastor is not a word of Scripture, nor a phrase from the liturgy, but a bunch of psychobabble from a psychologist-wannabe.
So let's throw a bit a pschobabble right back--he was definitely an enabler of his deceased parishioner's deviancy.

With Tiller arriving at the front gate to his property, a counselor finished her plea, You cant go to heaven unrepentant, George; you are going to hell. The abortionist George Tiller instantly quipped, Abortion is worth going to hell for.
Wonder if he still feels this way?

I don’t expect you to see this funeral promoted much at all at places like DU, Kos, or Huffy.
They have been promoting this narrative that a bunch of Christians murdered a doctor in the name of Jesus from the moment the first dribbles of news came out.
If you have the uninformed find out that an usher in a church (however evil he may have been) was gunned down during Sunday morning service by a long time anarchist who held his own church at home on Saturday, it makes it hard to paint this with the hateful Christians brush that they all jumped up with right off.
They can’t admit that just because he was in a church, that doesn’t mean he was a Christian now can they? What about homosexuals in churches? They said to many embarrassing things at the beginning of this story.
They will gloss over the funeral, and refer to this obliquely, lest anyone notice the actual details.

“talk about the promises of God and the hope that we have in the one who loved us first.”
The irony of this statement is astounding.

A very perverted irony in that selection since Tiller advertised that he would "baptize" the aborted fetuses murdered children upon request.

Save a tiny bit of sympathy for the victims of the victim.

I have not seen any reports about whether Tiller is being buried or cremated, but he SHOULD NOT be buried in a consecrated cemetery.

If they weren’t people, why would this fellow offer to baptize them? If they were, why would he slice them apart?
The darkness is over the land.
To: lightman
Tiller made a good living by killing children and this church did nothing to stop him by preaching repentance to him. Unable to bring him to repentance, it was their Scriptural duty to exclude him from fellowship, but they chose not to.
This is an apostate church. They are certainly not following the teachings of the Bible and of the Lutheran traditions. Let them mourn Tiller. God is mourning for them and for the babies.

Before or after he stabbed scissors through their skull? or was it suctioning their brain out through their ear? I am not up on the latest techniques for mutilating babies.
