A Growing Church

On the Lutheran Church in Great Britain's website the following statement is made:

"We are a growing church, with people from all parts of the world worshipping in our congregations."

This is either wishful thinking, delusion or an out right manipulative attempt to deceive those outside the Lutheran Church in Great Britain.

Since the Bishop came to office the congregations of the LCiGB have been in decline or have left the LCiGB.

There is a reduction in people attending worship, a reduction in members, a reduction of pastors and a reduction in the number of congregations. The only areas of growth are:

A growth in conflict.
A growth in legalism.
A growth in secrecy.
A growth in rules and regulations.
A growth in penalties.
A growth in useless meetings.
A growth in the number of people denied the opportunity to serve God.
A growth in the power of the Bishop.
A growth in the power of the Dean.
A growth in the LCiGB abilities to take over congregations.
A growth in watering down basic Lutheran Confessions, practices, beliefs and traditions.
