Months ago, I compared the ELCA to pig feeding at the trough of bankrupt racial politics (or words to that effect). Of course I was chastised (and perhaps rightly so) for using unkind language for the image I tried to create. But in all seriousness, is there no depth to which our church will not sink in its attempt to alienate moderate white folks. I know many in my congregation would be furious that our precious benevolence dollars continue to be spent for such abject silliness.
"The European American Lutheran Association is a group of white Lutherans who seek to dismantle structures within the ELCA that give privilege to white people and disadvantage people of color," said Katherine B. Long, Redmond, Wash., EALA's newly elected president.
Is this person kidding? Is she unaware of the byzantine quota system alive and well in the ELCA which gives, in fact, more votes, and therefore more power to "people of color."
Of course she must be aware. She is just employing the current liberal strategy of speaking her opinion, calling it the truth, and calling anyone who disagrees a racist.
I don't know how much more of this I can stand.
