New Bishop - "involved in the struggle against injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization."


Bishop-elect Lind (who is already a Bishop so should just be called Bishop), was elected to be the new Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain. According to the post on Facebook:

"Calling it “an exciting task” ahead, Bishop-elect Lind said his work will be that of “listening and encouraging.” He could also contribute his many years of experience in the renewal of the eucharist, the pilgrimages and the theology that is involved in the struggle against injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization."

Bishop Lind is in the right place to fight injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization which have been displayed by the the Lutheran Church in Great Britain over the last several years since Bishop Jana JerumaGrinberga and Dean Tom Bruch took over the church. 

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB is replaced with Christian love, compassion and mercy.

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB is replaced with real racial and ethnic equality.

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB does not continue with the abuse of Charity Law, Courts, Law Officials and Social Workers.

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB is replace with a desire for forgiveness, dialogue and the mutual upbuilding of the body of Christ.

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB so often reenforced with the abuse of scripture passages is replaced with Christ like behaviour. 

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB is replaced is replaced with restorative justice to those who have been deeply wronged and hurt by the actions of the former Bishop and Dean.

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB is not continued by another campaign and agenda by the Dean and his hand selected Trustees.

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB and a slavish commitment to use rules, regulations and laws to intimidate, abuse and hurt people is replace with mercy and love.

Let us pray that the injustice, discrimination, racism and dehumanization of the LCiGB is replaced with leaders who practice the teachings of Jesus.

A Sister Church?

According to the Report presented by David Lin and Linda Bruch concerning the 2012 finances of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain, 'A generous donation of £31,904 was received from a sister church abroad which covered in full the necessary legal costs incurred the previous year.'

1. 'Necessary legal costs' - Who are the Trustees, the Bishop and the Dean trying to fool? Not one pence of the £31,904 was necessary. Not one pence of the £31,904 was helpful.  Not one pence of the £31,904 was useful.  Not one pence of the £31,904 was needed.  Not one pence of the £31,904 was anything but a vindictive witch hunt that hurt many members of the LCiGB.  Not one pence of the £31,904 helped a child, fed the hungry or clothed the naked. In fact, every pence of the £31,904 hurt children and faithful families.

2. Why is the generous donation of £31,904 from 'a sister church' an anonymous church? Why hide the identity of the generous sister church? Every other generous 'sister church' donation is named and properly thanked. What are the Trustees hiding now?

- Is the 'sister church' really a church?
- Could this have been given by an individual? A wealthy Ecclesiastical Leader perhaps?
- Or maybe from a wealthy friend?
- Was the 'sister church' the same church that has a Bishop 'willing to stand for election" to be the next Bishop of the LCiGB?
- Is the 'sister church' getting a controlling stake in the LCiGB with the generous donation?
- Is the money coming from members of a London congregation who assisted the LCiGB Trustees with the 'Independent Appeal Panel' used to destroy a faithful pastor's career?
- What are the Trustees hiding now?
