The Lutheran Church in Great Britain is again pressurising a congregation to dismiss an ordained Lutheran Pastor. Once again the Lutheran Church in Great Britain is creating new rules in order to claim that a Pastor who has served faithfully and was Ordained by Bishop Jana is not really an LCiGB pastor. Why?
Could it be racism or ethnocentrism? The Pastor is non British or European. This is the third non-European Lutheran Pastor attacked by the Lutheran Church in Great Britain. This is the third non-European Lutheran Pastor who suddenly is not Ordained correctly, Examined Correctly or Not Licensed properly.
The Trustees of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain are all white Europeans (two of which lost their US Citizenship) and one person from Asia. The majority of the members of the congregations in the LCiGB are of African descent. The most vibrant congregations are people from African countries.
As the Dean regularly remarks: "The Africans aren't professional."
