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.
