After years of declining membership,
. . .
were known for as “reconciling in Christ”
Hmmmmm. I'm sure there's no correlation there, at all.

Only the ECLA would think that two dying congregations can be revived by giving them a lesbian “pastor.” These fallen creatures will be stunned to find that God doesn’t change his mind to fit the current thinking of this evil age.

This organization has a name, much the way the Roman Catholic Church claims a name, but has no idea what the Gospel of Jesus Christ actually teaches. Paul would consider these false brethren, and with him believers in Christ heartily agree.

They have a 3 year old child.

Either it’s another Virgin Birth or they went against God to produce it.

Somebody provided sperm.

Sounds like the real Church members declined themselves out of there, and the Dyke is preaching to the left-overs who don’t know any better.

God states Homosexuality is an abomination and I doubt He has changed His mind.

no one seems to have any qualms about the new pastor, the Rev. Julie Boleyn

Yes, all 4 members of the congregation are fine with it!

"Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven..." - Ge 9:24

God will punish this nation in the same fashion, as more self-described 'Christians' allow this kind of sin within their 'church.'

If Priestess Julie “integrated seamlessly” it is because she has erased the difference between sin and righteousness. She is an example not simply of vice failing to give deference to virtue through the usual means of hypocrisy, she is vice claiming to be virtue. She is Sodom claiming to be Zion, the Holy City of the Lord. She is the whore of Babylon pretending to be the bride of Christ.

From the article: “Boleyn, 36, has been married to her partner since 2004, and the couple has a 3-year-old daughter. And her ordination has not only been handled with complete acceptance, but a welcome indifference, she said.”

If the congregation(s) handled her ordination with “welcome indifference,” that is at best - AT BEST!!! - lukewarm. The people of the congregation(s), if the article is accurate - always a question with the media these days - manifestly haven’t a clue what the Bible says or is, and therefore not a clue what God says or who He is. Boleyn is the complete package of adultery, openly violating the commandment of God in nearly every way imaginable ... and with no shame.

That the congregation would accept in any way such a one as pastor says two things: 1) that they are not Lutheran, but in fact lawless and, because that is so, also wholly without the gospel; and 2) that they are self-admittedly post-Christian pagans.

That is the nicest way I can say it. That is the very best construction I can put on it. Not only would I not commend such a congregation to anyone, I wouldn’t let my dog pee on their grass for fear of the damage it might do to him.

The so-called "Reverend." Julie Boleyn "the first lesbian to be ordained in the Greater Metropolitan Chicago Synod", is not a servant of the true and living God, neither is she a minister of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She is a servant and minister of Satan and her vaunted deathstyle clearly indicates that she is devoid of the truth and unless she repents of her sin and turns in faith to the Lord Jesus Christ for her salvation she is destined for Hell and ultimately the Lake of Fire where she and all who follow her in her depravity will endure eternal torment. "Rev." Julie Boleyn is a false teacher whom the Apostle Peter aptly warns of and describes in 2 Peter chapter 2:

1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES, EVEN DENYING THE MASTER WHO BOUGHT THEM BRINGING SWIFT DESTRUCTION UPON THEMSELVES.

2 Many will follow THEIR SENSUALITY, and BECAUSE OF THEM THE WAY OF TRUTH WILL BE MALIGNED;

3 and in THEIR GREED THEY WILL EXPLOIT YOU WITH FALSE WORDS; THEIR JUDGMENT from long ago is not idle, and THEIR DESTRUCTION is not asleep.

4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into HELL and committed them to PITS OF DARKNESS, RESERVED FOR JUDGMENT;

5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the UNGODLY;

6 and if HE CONDEMNED the cities of SODOM and GOMORRAH TO DESTRUCTION by reducing them TO ASHES, HAVING MADE THEM AN EXAMPLE TO THOSE WHO W O U L D LIVE UNGODLY LIVES THERE AFTER; 7 and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the SENSUAL CONDUCT OF UNPLINCIPLED MEN

8(for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, AND TO KEEP THE UNRIGHTEOUS UNDER PUNISHMENT FOR THE DAY OF JUDGMENT,

10 AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO INDULGE THE FLESH IN IT'S CORRUPT DESIRES AND DISPISE AUTHORITIES. DARING, SELF-WILLED, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties,

11 whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

12 BUT THESE, LIKE UNREASONING ANIMALS. BORN CREATURES OF INSTINCT TO BE CAPTURED AND KILLED, REVILING WHERE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE, WILL IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THOSE CREATURES ALSO BE DESTROYED,

13 SUFFERING WRONG AS THE WAGES OF DOING WRONG. THEY COUNT IT A PLEASURE TO REVEL IN THE DAYTIME. THEY ARE STAINS AND BLEMISHES, REVELING IN THEIR DECEPTIONS AS THEY CAROUSE WITH YOU,

14 HAVING EYES FULL OF ADULTERY THAT NEVER CEASE FROM SIN, ENTICING UNSTABLE SOULS, HAVING A HEART TRAINED IN GREED, ACCURSED CHILDREN;

15 FORSAKING THE r i g h t w a y, THEY HAVE GONE ASTRAY, HAVING FOLLOWED THE WAY OF BALAAM, the son of Beor, WHO LOVED THE WAGES OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;

16 but he received a rebuke for his own transgression, for a mute donkey, speaking with a voice of a man, restrained the madness of the prophet.

17 THESE ARE SPRINGS WITHOUT WATER AND MISTS DRIVEN BY A STORM, FOR WHOM BLACK DARKNESS HAS BEEN RESERVED.

18 FOR SPEAKING OUT ARROGANT WORDS OF VANITY THEY ENTICE BY FLESHLY DESIRE, BY S E N S U A L I T Y, those who barely escape FROM THE ONES WHO LIVE IN ERROR,

19 PROMISING THEM F R E E D O M WHILE THEY THEMSELVES ARE S L A V E S TO C O R R U P T I O N; for by what a man is OVERCOME, BY THIS HE IS ENSLAVED.

20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again ENTANGLED IN THEM AND ARE OVERCOME, THE LAST STATE HAS BECOME WORSE FOR THEM THAN THE FIRST.

21 For IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OR RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAN HAVING KNOWN IT, TO TURN AWAY FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENT HANDED ON TO THEM.

22 IT AS HAPPENED TO THEM ACCORDING TO THE TRUE PROVERB, “A DOG RETURNS TO IT'S OWN VOMIT,” and, “A SOW, AFTER WASHING, RETURNS TO WALLOWING IN THE MIRE.” (2 Peter 2 NASB, Emphasis Added)

Woe to the people of United Berwyn Lutheran Church and the First Lutheran Church of Berwyn, a Satanic wolf in sheep's clothing walks among them and is leading thier congregations straight to hell. Their congregants need to flee from this wicked woman as soon as possible!

Only Christ is mentioned as having a seamless garment.

These two churches are not of seamlessness or Christ.

“They have a form of godliness, but deny the power therein.”

God will not be mocked, especially in His sanctuary.

The congregations were "forced" to merge? By whom?

My orthodox LCMS congregation has been "forced" to expand its physical facilities.

Boleyn, 36, has been married to her partner since 2004, and the couple has a 3-year-old daughter.

Hallelujah, it's a miracle!
