Just three months ago, I wrote that the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America had appointed its first transgender bishop — in this case, Megan Rohrer, a woman who sliced off her breasts, kept her female name, and claimed to be a man. Now Rohrer has been suspended for being racist. Live by woke political correctness; die by woke political correctness.
It was a big deal when Megan Rohrer, a woman who claims to be a man and insists on being referred to by the pronouns "they" and "them," was installed as bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. This was one of those "firsts" that simply thrill leftists. Suddenly, the left had achieved the first transgender bishop.
My feeling about Rohrer is that the woman is a monster. She has a child and had this to say about that poor, innocent thing:
"I have a trans child, for whom, if 'they' isn't used, will be in tears for days," Rohrer says. "That has given me the permission to be really public about it: 'Nope, you're going to use "they," because if you screw up with me, I'm going to have grace about it.' Letting people know my pronouns and my name is great."
For the Church, snatching biological reality from a child is not a problem, even though the Bible is very clear that God created men and women, not men, women, and it. Nevertheless, while getting a pass for what amounts to blasphemy, Rohrer still managed to run afoul of the Lutherans for being inadequately woke about minorities:
A group promoting LGBTQ clergy in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has suspended its first transgender bishop over allegations of "racist words and actions" involving the bishop's church area and the "Latinx community"

“Bishop Pat”
Layers upon layers of craziness.
I have to admit, the fortitude it takes to approach a Great White Throne while knowingly be at odds with the authority of that throne, is astonishing.
Whatever is gained, is this worth being condemned to suffering and torments for all eternity? No more grace, no more goodness, no kindness, no healing, no relief, no good quality of anything. Just pain and agony with rap music playing in the background.
This is worth it?
just another “Christian” who thinks God is an idiot and they need to clean up His mess...
More Sodom and Gommorah drama for the ELCA. Not surprised at all.

I’ve worked at 2 Evangelical companies. I learned that Evangelical means: Christain when convenient.
I need a diagram and slide ruler to keep track of these clowns. If they weren’t so powerful it would be hilarious. I still laugh at them.
More likely, they realized they made a mistake appointing it, and used the race card to make it go away.
Her “Trans-Child” will be in ‘tears for days’ if someone doesn’t adress him/her as ‘they’?
She is raising a child who is dangerously oversensitive and overly demanding of how people chose to act around him/her.
Someone that deep into playing the angry victim role over minor issues will not have a happy life.

I have wondered about that myself very often. It’s as if they view God’s Word (Bible, Ten Commandments, Christ’s quotes) as cute stories, advice or suggestions.
The arrogance and ego required to have such a view is beyond my grasp.
The story is intentionally vague. But my understanding is that (s)he is still the Bishop, but lost membership in some associated club of even crazier people.

"We'd simply like to say that the incidents that led to Bishop Rohrer's suspension from Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries Proclaim community occurred before they were elected bishop in May, before they became bishop in September, and well before the dispute in Stockton," Wilker stated December 23. "Those matters were internal to Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries and did not directly involve Lutherans in Stockton."According to the Post article, Rohrer terminated the employment of the Reverend Nelson Rabell-González of Misión Latina Luterana in Stockton December 12.
A statement from Wilker and ELM co-chair Margarette Ouji December 20 said, "This is a response to an existing pattern of behavior from Bishop Rohrer that misaligns with ELM's Mission, Vision, and Values, specifically as it pertains to being an anti-racist organization."
"This suspension is not only a response to recent harm done by the Sierra Pacific Synod Council and Bishop Rohrer to the Latinx community in Stockton," the statement reads.
Rabell-González was an outspoken supporter of Black Lives Matter, according to a December 17 post by Eco Preacher blogger Leah D. Schade. He organized a demonstration last year. Schade, an ordained ELCA minister, discloses that she is a friend of Rabell-González's and alleges he "tried to blow the whistle" on "secrets" related to the relationship between the ELCA and the Hispanic community.
ELM further stated that Rohrer is the first person it invited to be a part of its accountability process but they declined.
"In September, Bishop Rohrer declined the Accountability Team's invitation for continued work to repair these relationships," the statement continued.
Rohrer wrote on Twitter the morning of December 23 that "the number one question LGBTQ ask me about being a bishop is if others support me. Most days the answer, without hesitation, is yes. On other days when pastoral information is kept confidential, I lament at how quickly some people assume the worst."
They feel He should have a meeting with them,so they can explain diversity,equity and inclusion...Clearly,He isn’t up the job as supreme being.....
Jesus weeps.
So glad you took the steps you took.
Have a blessed CHRISTmas, lightman and family!
