The Independence of the Bishop and Dean

When the Bishop and Dean of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain needed an "Independent" panel to hear the outrageous and false accusations against a pastor, they turned to the Lutheran Council where the Dean was employed as the General Secretary for years and where the Bishop was a Director / Trustee. Two of the three members of the "Independent" Panel were fellow Directors / Trustees of Lutheran Council with the Bishop. The third "Independent" member was an Anglican who had worked side by side with the Bishop and the Dean for years in the Anglican Lutheran Society.
