Under Bishop Jana Jeruma-Grinberga St Anne's Lutheran Church was:
- Fined by HRMC http://www.hmrc.gov.uk
- Failed to file legally required reports to the Charity Commission http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk
- Failed to keep the terms of the lease of the building
Yet, under Rules and Regulations of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain:
'All ordained ministers in the active service of the LCiGB are expected to support the
agreed programmes of the LCiGB, to cooperate with the decisions of the Council and to
conduct themselves in accordance with the Rules of the LCiGB, including:
6. ensuring that the pastor and the congregation comply with all current legal
requirements that relate to the life and work of the congregation
7. ensuring that the facilities and buildings owned or used by the congregation are
properly maintained and are suitable for Christian worship'
and
'Failure to observe the duly approved Rules of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain
could result in disciplinary action, conducted in accordance with the disciplinary
procedure of the Church'
Conveniently these rules apparently do not apply to the Bishop Jana Jeruma-Grinberga.
