Consequences

Due to the actions of the Bishop and Dean, a prominent Lutheran congregation is not able to renew its lease. The congregation is now looking for a new home. Of course the congregation has physical assets that it will not be able to take to a new home.

When will someone stop the Bishop and Dean from completely destroying the Lutheran Church in Great Britain? They have destroyed the lives of pastors, pastoral candidates as well as the families and children - Christ is about life, not death and destruction.

Finance and Rules

According to the Synod Report for the year of 2011 posted at the Lutheran Church in Great Britain website:


The Finance Committee did not meet in 2011.
The Rules Committee did not meet in 2011.



Absolutely amazing!

In a year when the Lutheran Church in Great Britain spent more money on legal fees than the entire annual budget of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain - the Finance Committee did not meet one single time!

In a year when new Rules and Regulations were adopted which allowed the Bishop and Dean to take over congregations, claim that some ordinations performed by the previous Bishop are not valid and removed a pastor based on new regulations - the Rules Committee did not meet in 2011!

In a year with so many new rules and regulations and massive amounts of non-budgeted legal fees were spent - the Finance and Rules Committees did not meet!

Pretentious Piety


Reflections on the year


"Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and 
a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or abuse for abuse; but, on the contrary, repay 
with a blessing. It is for this that you were called—that you might inherit a blessing." (1
Peter 3:8-9)


These are the words that Bishop Jxxx JxxxxxGxxxxx used for her Reflection on the Year 2011 in the Synod Report. This is the reflection on the year in which the Bishop spent most of her time and more than the budget of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain creating new rules and regulations so that she could control the Lutheran Church in Great Britain completely, force a congregation into legal proceedings and was so unreasonable that at least two LCiGB pastors had to obtain legal advisors.

This is the pastor that was asked by many in the LCiGB to show compassion and forgiveness - she refused.

She not only failed to repay evil or abuse with blessing,
She not only failed to offer blessing,
She not only failed to lead or attempt to create a unity of spirit,
She not only failed to offer sympathy,
She not only failed to offer love for one another,
She not only failed to show a tender heart,
She not only failed to be of humble mind,
She sowed and grew disunity,
She was cruel,
She expressed hatred,
She had a heart more hardened than Pharaoh,
She was set in her mind and full of pride,
She was the one who was evil and abusive.

No Female Bishops in the Church of England

Yet the Bishop and Dean desperately want to be accepted by the Church of England.

Yet the Bishop and Dean model themselves after the Church of England and continue to force Church of England practice and polity on the Lutheran Church in Great Britain.

Bullies Try to Stop Information that Might Identify Their Behaviour


Will you consider the behaviour of a Very Reverend in the LCiGB and this list?



  • Jekyll & Hyde personality
  • always charming and beguilingly plausible, especially to those who are capable of protecting or enhancing the sociopath's position
  • excels at deception (this must never be underestimated, but always is)
  • excels at evasion of accountability
  • is extremely and successfully manipulative of people's perceptions and emotions (eg guilt and anger)
  • silver-tongued, has an extreme verbal facility and can outwit anybody (including a top barrister) in verbal conflict
  • will often engineer himself or herself into a position of authority as gatekeeper of the organisation and thus the person through whom all information must flow, and the person to whom all requests for services must be referred - which he or she then takes delight in denying
  • is adept at offering weak and inadequate people the positions of power, control, security, influence or respect that they crave but who lack the necessary competencies to achieve - such people are unaware that their consequent dependence on the sociopath makes them permanent manipulatees, pawns and expendable agents of harassment
  • identifies those essential to the sociopath's survival and manipulates their perceptions them by making them feel special and thus obligated to reciprocate with support and protection
  • manipulates others into making fools of themselves in situations where they cannot back down or from which they cannot withdraw - these people become increasingly susceptible to further manipulation and are then trapped as pawns in the sociopath's game
  • is likely to be surrounded by people who, having been subjected to control, manipulation and punishment by the sociopath, look wretched and who start to exhibit behaviour best described as disordered, dysfunctional, sullen, aggressive, defensive, hostile, retaliatory, counterproductive or cult-like and for whom disbelief, disavowal and denial are instinctive responses
  • creates an environment where levels of denial are so great that those involved are oblivious of the foolishness and self-evident absurdity of their denials when presented with the facts, with the result that non-involved observers are led to question whether such levels of denial merit psychiatric intervention
  • is contemptuous of disrepute to their organisation and of collateral damage and of the destructive consequences for all direct and indirect parties 
  • is always surrounded by and leaves behind a trail of dysfunctional organisations, destroyed businesses, ruined careers, stress breakdowns and unexplained suicides
  • despite a trail of devastation to individuals, organisations, families and communities, the actions of a socialised psychopath may go undetected or unrecognised for years
  • a history of conducting frivolous, vexatious and malicious legal actions, especially (but not exclusively) against anyone who can recognise the sociopath for what he is
  • only after the sociopath is exposed and relieved of position, or they move on, can the full depth of their destructive behaviour be fathomed and the consequences calculated
  • is skilled at identifying, undermining, discrediting, neutralising and destroying anyone who can see through the sociopath's mask of sanity
  • at all times restricts the actions and rights of others (especially those holding the sociopath accountable) whilst aggressively protecting his or her right to do anything without being hampered by social norms or legal requirements
  • pursues endless vindictive vendettas against anyone perceived as a threat or who attempts, knowingly or unknowingly, to identify or reveal or expose the sociopath, or who makes efforts to hold the sociopath accountable
  • is adept at appropriating rules, regulations, procedures and law to manipulate, control and punish accusers regardless of relevance, logic, facts or consequences
  • persists in and pursues vindictive vendettas using self-evidently false evidence or information, even after this is brought to the attention of the sociopath
  • will often manipulate minor bullies into acting as agents of harassment and as unwitting or unwilling conductors of vendettas
  • is adept at placing people in situations where the sociopath can tap into each person's instinctive urge to retaliate in order to use them as his or her instruments or agents of harassment
  • gains gratification from provoking others into engaging in adversarial conflict
  • once conflict has been initiated, the sociopath gains increased gratification by exploiting human beings' instinctive need to retaliate - this is achieved by encouraging and escalating peoples' adversarial conflicts into mutually assured destruction
  • revels in the gratification gained from seeing or causing other people's distress
  • when faced with accountability or unwelcome attention which might lead to others discerning the sociopath's true nature, responds with repeated and escalating attempts to control, manipulate and punish
  • is adept at reflecting all accusations and attempts at accountability back onto their accusers
  • is adept at creating conflict between those who would otherwise pool negative information about the sociopath
  • has no limits on his or her vindictiveness
  • the need to control, manipulate and punish develops into an obsession with many of the hallmarks of an addiction
  • is skilled at mimicry and can plausibly and spontaneously regurgitate all the latest management jargon
  • exhibits minimal professional skill level and competency
  • exploits his or her intelligence to excel at talentless mediocrity
  • is always identifying the behaviours and strategies to which other people respond with the desired effect
  • is able to anticipate and credibly say what people want to hear
  • is easily able to win people over before betraying them or deceiving them or ripping them off
  • easily manipulates and bewitches an immature or naive or vulnerable or emotionally needy person to be their spokesperson or agent of aggression
  • exploits anyone who has a vulnerability
  • is pushy and extremely persuasive
  • is sexually inadequate and sexually abusive
  • is likely to protect anyone accused of or suspected of sexual abuse of pedophile activity, and will frustrate or obstruct investigations into that person
  • maybe associating with, or actively involved in, abuse or pedophile activity
  • has no emotions, no emotional processing capability and no ability to understand other's emotions
  • is incapable of understanding, initiating or sustaining intimacy
  • the male sociopath has often convinced a string of women to feel they are in love with him and despite being treated abominably they blindly continue to be loyal to him and minister willingly to his every demand
  • may start projects with apparent enthusiasm and energy but quickly loses interest
  • frequently takes unnecessary and uncalculated risks but takes no account of consequences
  • is likely to be illegally diverting or siphoning off significant sums of money to his or her own budget, project, account or cause
  • is unreliable and untrustworthy in every facet of life
  • is likely to be leaking confidential information or secrets to third parties
  • is likely to have committed or be committing criminal or near-criminal offences, eg fraud, embezzlement, deception
  • is likely to have committed or be committing breaches of harassment and discrimination law, employment law, contract law, etc
  • cannot comprehend the deeper semantic meaning of language and is thus unable to understand or appreciate metaphor, hyperbole, irony, satire etc (these elicit either zero response or a hostile response)
  • likes, seeks, enjoys and relies on procedure, ritual and ritualistic practices
  • through arrogant overconfidence takes increasingly risky chances and eventually overplays their hand or makes a mistake which leads to the sociopath revealing him or herself
  • exhibits parasitical behaviour, takes everything and gives nothing
  • grabs headline credit for minimal, flukey or other peoples' success whilst surviving off the backs of manipulatees who are exclusively blamed for all failures
  • rarely blinks, may have stary scary eyes that cut right through you, or may avoid eye contact completely
  • is callous, cold and calculating
  • is devious, clever and cunning
  • is ruthless in the extreme
  • regards people as objects and playthings to be discarded when surplus to requirements
  • displays zero empathy
  • completely without conscience, remorse and guilt
  • malicious and evil
The Socialised Psychopath or Sociopath
Also known as the corporate psychopath, workplace psychopath, industrial psychopath and administrative psychopath.

Motivation: power, gratification, personal gain, survival
Mindset: manipulation, deception, evil
Malice: high to very high; when held accountable, off the scale


What would Bishop J Jxxxxx-Gxxxxxxxx or Dean Txx Bxxxx say? Now we know, they took action to remove statements of the truth. They have spend more money on legal fees.

New Rules, More Complaints


The current Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain has changed all the rules concerning ordination. Pastors who were ordained by the previous Bishop have been told they are not really ordained Lutheran Pastors.

Pastors who have been ordained in the last few years have been told that they are not "fully approved" as Lutheran Pastors. The Bishop has even told a Bishop from a Lutheran Church outside of the UK that the Lutheran Church in Great Britain does not ordain pastors except women who come from countries and Lutheran Churches that do not ordain women. That statement was news to the men who have been ordained in the Lutheran Church in Great Britain.

Additionally the Bishop has refused to ordain any pastor with more theological education than the Bishop. Unfortunately this eliminates most of the Lutheran Pastors in the world as the Bishop has no degree in theology and most Lutheran Pastors have graduate degrees in theology.

The Bishop also appointed a lay person with no theological or pastoral training to Chair the committee responsible for theological education. This lay person is also appointed to mentor candidates for ordination and guide them in their theological and ministerial formation. Would a doctor be mentored by someone who never went to medical school? Would a solicitor or barrister be mentored by someone who did not read the law?


Is it incompetence? Fear of challenge? Insecurity?

No News Is Not Good News

The Lutheran Church in Great Britain is failing to communicate the activities of the Trustees, the Bishop and the Dean. The blog that the Bishop used to share of her day to day activities and travel has been shut down. There has not been an issue of the Forum since "Epiphany 2012". The news on the website is news from 2011 and the majority of the links do not even work.

The Lutheran Church in Great Britian has made it clear in private emails that the Bishop is stepping done, that an Interim Bishop has been chosen and that the Bishop and Dean are appointing Church of England Clergy to take over several Lutheran congregations without the consent of the members of the congregation. Each item is significant news to be shared with the members and supporters of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain, but, as in the recent past, the Bishop and Dean prefer to withhold information so they can manipulate the processes of the church.

One should not expect much from a Dean who hides the fact he lost his American citizenship and a faux Bishop elected by less than 25 people whom has the delusional notion that she is a Bishop like the real Bishops of LWF churches who are educated, experienced and properly elected.

One Step Closer

The Lutheran Church in Great Britain is assigning an Anglican Priest as Pastor of a significant Lutheran Church.

The vision of the Dean and Bishop to remold the Lutheran Church in Great Britain into Church of England is moving forward. Under the Bishop and Dean:

1. The polity of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain has completely changed. The Synod and members of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain have been removed from the decision making process. The Bishop, Dean and Trustees now make all decisions except approving an auditor and electing Trustees.

2. The Bishop and Dean of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain have pressurised the congregations to abandon the Constitutions which ensured congregational polity and were faithful to the Lutheran Confessions and Historic Practice, to become companies and adopt provided Articles and Memorandums which have removed the congregation members from the decision making process and forced the congregations to submit to the Bishop and Trustees of the the LCiGB. The LCiGB has done this with offers of money (grants funded by the Lutheran Council of Great Britain) and threats of legal action.

3. Now the Bishop and Dean are appointing Anglican Priests without the consent of the congregation members to serve congregations. There are no agreements that these Anglican Priests will follow Lutheran worship practices or preach in accordance with the Lutheran Confessions.

Soon, the Bishop and Dean will be calling for the Lutheran Church in Great Britain to become a part of the Church of England.

This is insulting to the faithful Lutherans in the UK. Lutherans who have faithfully kept the confessions and worshiped in small groups around the UK. Faith Lutherans who have sacrificed because they are Lutheran and believe that God desires a Lutheran community in the UK.

Many Lutherans in the UK will travel fifty miles, passing literally dozens and dozens of Church of England churches to attend a Lutheran Church. Why? Because they are Lutheran! Faithful Lutherans! Lutherans do not think Anglicans are "wrong" but Anglicans are not Lutherans!

Why would any Lutheran travel 50 miles, even a mile to attend services led by an Anglican Priest. Ever residence in England is part of a Church of England parish.

The Bishop and Dean are dishonoring the sacrifice and faithfulness of generations of Lutherans in the UK and the Lutherans who died for their faith in this great country.

The Bishop's Sermon- To Whom Was She Preaching?

"But into this picture, this commonplace situation of 1st century Palestine, or 21st century Africa, the grace of God breaks in. When, at the end of the day, all the workers gather to receive their well-earned wages, it turns out that they are not being paid an hourly rate, or apparently even in any way that is fair. From the perspective of labour relations or employment law, the owner of the vineyard is behaving in a way that is deeply unfair, and one that would today guarantee an instant wildcat strike. How can you pay everyone the same, whether they work for one hour or eight?"*


The Bishop preached about the owner of the vineyard behaving in a way that is "deeply unfair".

The Bishop preached about deeply unfair behaviour that would violate employment and labour law whilst she was in the very process of leading a deeply unfair process that violated employment law and resulted in a Lutheran congregation landing in an Employment Tribunal. The Bishop preached about the unfairness of the vineyard owner whilst making deeply unfair decisions and demands that deeply hurt a congregation, a pastor, a partner and small children. She preached grace whilst crippling the Lutheran Church in Great Britain with tens of thousands of pounds of legal fees. ( The legal fees over £50,000 was reported in the LCiGB Annual Report - though rather buried and not reflected in the accounts. )

Many a wise preacher has observed that a preacher reveals much in a homily.

"This rebuke reminds us that the story, not just this parable, but the whole of the great salvation story is not about what we do, but about what God does out of sheer grace." As the Bishop preached those words one wonders did her voice tremble or was it hopeful?

The Bishop preached, "why would we want to be miserly about sharing that joy?"

To whom was she asking?

Interim Bishop

The Lutheran Church in Great Britain has an Interim Bishop, although there is no mention of this development on the Lutheran Church in Great Britain website.

Heartless or Soulless?

Which word best describes a Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain?

She has knowingly allowed pastors "under her care" to be underpaid and kept in poverty. She routinely turned down requests for assistance from pastors with children. She allowed pastors and staff to go unpaid for months at a time. She knowingly allowed congregations to provide substandard housing for pastors. She approved grossly disparate pay for pastors apparently based on the colour of their skin.

Any one of the above examples alone is soul destroying for pastors and their families. However, the callousness of the Bishop is even more stark when one discovers that the Bishop not only knowingly allowed such horrendous treatment of pastors and their families, the Bishop has recently remodeled her home, kept a flat in another European city and built a second home in another country. She regularly travels to and from her various properties whilst pastors and their children suffer in poverty.

Heartless or Soulless?

Our Vision

The website of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain features a page titled "Vision" under the "About Us" tab. There one can read:

• An expanded central administration which will enable congregations to concentrate on their mission by taking on some of the administrative burden.


At first reading "an expanded central administration" implies a helpful role of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain especially in consideration of the very small congregations.

In practice and reality, "an expanded central administration" is moving from a congregational polity to an Episcopal polity. Changing to an Episcopal polity violates the historic practice of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain and violates the constitutions and historic practice of the congregations. The majority of Lutherans in the world believe that the Lutheran Confessions outline a congregational polity and therefore the majority of Lutherans in the world have a congregational polity.

The most egregious aspect of the Bishop and Dean in this "Vision" of an expanded central administration is that this move is a surreptitious change of theology without discussion, dialogue or vote. The expanded central administration and the "free of charge" governing documents are the Bishop and Dean taking total control of congregations and fundamentally rewriting the theology and polity of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain.

The Dean has a history of manipulating organisations, rules and policies which result in the Dean being in total control and the perceived "expert" to whom all defer. Anyone who questions the expert is systematically removed. The Dean is a master of controlling an organisation. He successful fends off scrutiny by having successive victims who are either accused of being unprofessional and incompetent or he tortures his victims by constant minor complaints, unreasonable demands and impracticable deadlines until the victim resigns.

If a victim of the Dean's efforts to avoid scrutiny begins to question the Dean, stands up to the Dean or attempts to hold the Dean accountable, the Dean will carefully create the documentation needed to ensure that the victim is dismissed and removed. The Dean will pursue every legal option to continue to pursue, discredit and punish the victim without regard to the cost to the organisation or the legal jeopardy to individuals or the organisation. The Dean will always ensure that he is insulated and protected from any legal repercussions.
