#pastor — Public Fediverse posts

At sentencing earlier this week, judge said the pastor showed zero remorse. “You choose rather to blame the victim and incredulously claim that you were the victim of abuse at her home, a 14-year-old child.” Silas Shelton was sentenced to the max, 15 yrs, for abuse back in 2019.
2023, he's telling his school board "I got sick reading that stuff" re: award winning (gay) graphic novel.

Abschied aber kein Lebewohl – A farewell, but not goodbye forever

(English below)

Am Pfingstmontag, 25.5.2026, fanden in unserer St. Concordia-Kirche zu Ruhla zwei Verabschiedungen im Gottesdienst statt.
In einer feierlichen Zeremonie wurde zunächst die Kantorkatechetin verabschiedet. Sie hat 20 Jahre lang mit Kindern und Familien gearbeitet und war zudem für die Kirchenmusik verantwortlich. Doch nachdem sie vor 25 Jahren in den Ruhestand getreten war, hat sie noch ein Vierteljahrhundert die Orgel bei Gottesdiensten, Hochzeiten, Trauerfeiern etc. gespielt. Dafür wurde ihr vom Superintendent des Kirchenkreises herzlich gedankt und ihr Engagement gewürdigt.

Die zweite Verabschiedung galt Pfarrer Reuther, der nach 22 Jahren Dienst in Ruhla Ende Juni 2026 in den Ruhestand geht.
Auch wenn sein Dienst in Ruhla endet, bedeutet das nicht das Ende des Bildungsprojekts in Ruanda! Der Ökumenische Eine-Welt-Kreis bleibt weiterhin bestehen und wird das Projekt in der gewohnten Weise fortführen. Mehr noch, Pfarrer Reuther bleibt Mitglied des Eine-Welt-kreises und wird die Leitung des Projekts behalten.

Beide Ruheständler hatten sich von den Besuchern und Gästen des Verabschiedungsgottesdienstes gewünscht, daß sie auf Geschenke verzichten, dafür aber eine Spende zu geben. Dafür hatten sie zwei Zwecke vorgegeben. Ein Zweck davon war unser Bildungsprojekt in Ruanda und wir sind dankbar für alle Spenden in Höhe von rund 800 Euro, die für unser Ruanda-Projekt gespendet wurden.

On Whit Monday, 25 May 2026, two farewells took place during the service at our St Concordia Church in Ruhla.
In a solemn ceremony, the cantor-catechist was first bid farewell. She had worked with children and families for 20 years and was also responsible for church music. However, after retiring 25 years ago, she continued to play the organ for another quarter of a century at church services, weddings, funerals and other occasions. The superintendent of the church district expressed his heartfelt thanks to her and paid tribute to her dedication.

The second farewell was for Pastor Reuther, who is retiring at the end of June 2026 after 22 years of service in Ruhla.
Even though his ministry in Ruhla is coming to an end, this does not mean the end of the education project in Rwanda! The Ecumenical One World Circle will continue to exist and will carry on the project in the usual way. What is more, Pastor Reuther will remain a member of the One World Circle and will continue to lead the project.

Both retirees had asked the visitors and guests at the farewell service to refrain from bringing gifts and instead to make a donation. They had specified two causes for this. One of these was our education project in Rwanda, and we are grateful for all the donations totalling around 800 euros that were made to our Rwanda project.

I’ve absolutely loved #Mickey17.

Long story short: Imagine #WeylandYutani from #Alien being controlled by a crazy #evangelical #pastor that lost his last two #elections and now he wants to #colonize another #planet.

So he can be the sole ruler. As you can get even when being a #comedy. Sometimes gives me that vibe that in a future it’ll become a reality.

Worth the watch!

Book #burnings are equal opportunity events. I initially assumed they were God Bless America #Trumpian Bibles. THE new #sacrament.

A burning trailer full of #Bibles was left outside an evangelical #church in #Tennessee on #Easter morning, according to local police, with the church’s far-right #pastor denouncing it as a “100 percent” #deliberate act.

He said in the #essay that he was "unable to #justify telling a #couple who are in #love with #Christ and each other, seeking #godly #counsel and #participating in the #life of the #church, that I must refuse them #blessing and #participation in the #sacrament of #marriage."

#MikeVanMeter, a #pastor at #FoothillsChristianChurch in #ElCajon, said he #sympathizes with the #sentiment that prompted the #protest.

“I think a lot of parents see what seems like a targeting of kids — impressionable kids of certain ages,” he said. “It seems to undermine the traditional view of the family.”

— He thinks his religion should be the only group to influence children, "Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6
