The letter [from ELCA bishop Hanson] has its foundation in anti-Semitism. One way this is apparent is when one considers that the US government gives military and/or financial aid to many countries which are, in fact, ruthlessly oppressive and violent. There are Muslim countries that brutalize Christian citizens, women, non-Muslims and homosexuals. Countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Lebanon to name a few. Yet, where is the letter asking for an investigation into military aid or financial aid to these countries? Countries which HATE America. Countries which keep “Palestinians” in slums. Countries and governments which will kill you for having a Bible. The silence from the ELCA concerning these countries is deafening.

One needs to see the link to know what is really going on:

The “other churches” don’t seem to be publicizing this. The politicized, leftist ELCA mis-leadership is tooting its own horn with this bogus statement far and wide.

Liberal protestant “churches” have become political organizations like MoveOn or SEIU. They would do better by concentrating on the Gospel and the call to repentance. Repentance is the entrance to the Kingdom of God!!!!
