"The Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is suing to block a new law in Tennessee that criminalizes people and organizations who assist undocumented immigrants. The suit alleges the new bill violates the Synod’s First Amendment rights by criminalizing ministry actions they engage in because of Christian teachings."

**Scandinavia has its own dark history of assimilating Indigenous people, and churches played a role – but are apologizing**
"_Both state-run residential boarding schools and schools run by churches included Lutheranism as a subject and strove relentlessly to assimilate Sámi into the majority culture, language and worldview, teaching children to see their culture as backward and shameful,_"

"Christian Nationalism is a dangerous ideology that distorts the Gospel and turns Jesus and Christianity into a weapon for power and division instead of a movement towards love and justice. It demands that a particular brand of Christianity be privileged by the state and impose that singular belief system in order to be a 'good American.'”

"While some might think that all Christians would support an effort to root out 'anti-Christian bias,' that’s not the case. We believe this executive order is a threat to the religious pluralism enshrined in the Constitution and does not actually protect Christians."

The Lutheran(ELCA) bishops of Wisconsin speak:
"We, the Lutheran (ELCA) bishops in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, are concerned about an executive order signed by President Trump on Feb. 6 that established a new 'Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias.' This task force has the duty to 'identify any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices, or conduct by an agency.'"

Recently it was discovered that a Methodist pastor was dealing meth. Now we can’t all be in the glamourous business of drug dealing, but here are some other things the religious might be a front for.
If you guessed that a yogi might be a gateway religious icon for yoga, you would be very right. The words are very similar for a reason and lends credence(creedence?) to the rest of our examples.
Have you ever thought that Presbyterians were a bit too nosy for their own good? Well, they might be a front for the press of the world. Always searching for that big scoop that will make a big name for themselves.
Many protestant clergymen are known as ministers. This word is also a verb as to minister to the sick. These twisted people might rejoice in giving service. That’s sick, itself, needing more ministering.
Lutherans could be a front for luthiers, you know, those who make and fix stringed instruments. So if you hear a hoedown coming from behind a Lutheran church, you know what is what.
Monks could be a front for Monkees lovers. They do their awesome chanting until no one is within earshot, then break into, “Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees, and people say we monkey around, but we’re too busy singing to put anybody down.”
The priesthood could mean any criminal priest. Maybe he sells meth like his methodist friend. Or perhaps he’s known for other crimes.
Rabbis could be a front for selling rabbits. Do you have a petting zoo? Go see the rabbi for your rabbits and other small, yet cute, mammal needs.
No matter how much you give to nuns, they are giving none away. After all, they are too busy being married to Jesus.
Anglicans may think they are a front for angels. But they are too busy eyeing the angles for their best advantage.

In 19th century Sweden, strict Lutherans started calling curtains ‘the Devil's underwear’ because they were massive voyeurs.

Bob, good to see you on Mastodon! I think I first met you on the Birdsite more than a decade ago when it was a better place. I have only come across a handful of #Lutherans in the 45 days I’ve been here. Dr. Paul Santmire is here: @PaulSantmire

@serenebabe @danielschultz I have not found many #ELCA #Lutherans identifying themselves here yet. Some with big bird sore followings are probably reluctant to give those up and they might overestimate their ability to speak to a broad audience. I work for the ELCA Churchwide office. I have recommended they start an instance. There is some interest in this. I will keep you posted with what I hear/find and spread the word about Dr Santmire being here.

An #introduction.
I have been an advocate in the field of ecological theology since I published my first book, Brother Earth: Nature, God, and Ecology in a Time of Crisis (1970). I wrote about the gendered title here: https://hpaulsantmire.net/earth-day-fifty-parochial-ruminations/
