Report of the Presiding Bishop - ELCA Churchwide Assembly in
New Orleans August 8-13, 2016
Published on Aug 12, 2016: Bishop Eaton delivers an
inspiring message as her Report from the Presiding Bishop to the ELCA
Churchwide Assembly. Eaton says, “In baptism we have all been marked with the
cross of Christ, and are all called not to run away, but to run to those dark
and deadly places, bringing the light and life of Christ.”
We can’t form relations with other denominations or other
religions if we are not clear about who we are.
We are ‘both – and,’ and not ‘either – or.’
Lutherans have a distinctive voice…
Who knew we had a fight song…. What is our fight song? “A
Mighty Fortress is our God.”
What is our chant? ‘Justified by Grace.’
Go in peace serve the Lord. Not to see people as problems to
be solved.
24:55 thanking first responders for our day of service falls
on Sept. 11, 2016 - God’s Work Our Hands Sunday – the fifteenth anniversary of
9/11.
There are more Muslims in this country than ELCA Lutherans
The synod is us. Scheduled Rostered Leaders gathering in
Atlanta GA. August 7-10, 2017
We need to reclaim the word evangelical…. The good news. We
no longer have this privileged spot in society. We are a missionary church once
again. There are so many options now on Sunday morning. The Roman Empire did
not give Christians Sundays off. It is not our fault that the world has
changed.
Saint Paul was a proto-Lutheran.
White privilege – Benefits of the GI Bill. Some aspects of
the GI Bill not available for African-Americans. Around 41:00. We did not
create it. We inherited it. But we can change it. Pastors when you get
push-back about this. Blame it on me.
Future … God is calling us toward … Future Directions Paper …
Ministry site profile.
https://www.elca.org/future: The ELCA is a young church at only 28 years
old. It is a good time to take a look at where we are as God’s people and try
to understand what God has in store for us. And we think it is an exciting time
to be looking forward together as we approach the 500th anniversary of the
Reformation in 2017.
We want to create a vision for the
future ELCA – as a church with solid foundations sharing the Good News of Jesus
Christ and making a difference in the world locally and globally. And as a
church that we can be proud to pass on to our children.
We want to discover how we can continue
to faithfully serve God’s mission in the years ahead and reach a shared
understanding among church leaders about the ministries that are most
important.
And we want to assess whether the
structures that were set up for this church are right for the future, and as
part of this consider how we use our resources in the best possible way. There
are many challenges.

Saturday evening, August 20, 2016, our friends from France visited Caroline's treasurer's office at Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 - after we visited the Giant grocery store. With Cora Deruette, Nathalie Pouteau de Brucan, and Guillemette Pouteau de Brucan.
Saturday evening, August 20, 2016, our friends from France visited the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 - after we visited the Giant grocery store. When Caroline and visit other countries, we always want to visit grocery stores and fire stations. Apparently Cora Deruette, Nathalie Pouteau de Brucan, and Guillemette Pouteau de Brucan share our interest in grocery stores and enjoyed our visit to the fire station. The firefighters at the station were really good hosts and expressed an interest in the three French girls joining the fire company. Just saying.

Sunday, August 21, 2016. 8:45 am service at St. John Catholic Church, Westminster Md. The new priest, Father Mark is awesome.
Father Mark's message this morning was to discuss the Olympics, the number of metals won by the nations with the highest metal count - and the accomplishments of the athletes. Can you imagine what it would be like if we gave all the athletes a certificate of participation? As a member of the church, we cannot simply just show up and get a participation trophy. Keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus Christ. When did mediocre become good enough? We have to become the best version of ourselves.
We have to stop the participation trophy complex from running our lives. We run the race to win. We cannot win the race if we get a trophy for just showing up.
Father Tood Devilbiss takes confession from congregants that have gathered in his confessional booth. Wed. August 17, 2016 "Father forgive me for I have sinned…" Oh, I am so sorry that was a discussion over a "transmission" - not a "transgression." Okay, well move along - nothing to see here folks.
Today, the former mayor may be found breaking rocks on a
bread and water diet. Wed. Aug. 17, 2016
According to an article, “The Tramp Problem in Cities” in
Vol. 4, No. 3 edition of “City Government - Municipal Journal and Public
Works,”
The article begins by explaining, “An inquiry from Hon.
Peter J. Carolus, judge of the police court of St. Joseph, Mo., to the League
of American Municipalities, in regard to the tramp problem, has brought forth
he following information and suggestions:
[…]
Mayor Robert J. Saltsman, Erie, Pa. reports “Every city
ought to have a work-house or stone pile for tramps or vagrants; we have
mothing of the sort, but work our tramps in summer cleaning the streets. If we
could get our county commissioners to join us we would build a work-house at
once.”
F. G. Pierce, the mayor of Marshalltown, Ia. says, “We
consider the tramp a good thing… We give any person who applies to any of the
police officers one night’s lodging in the station house, and if the tramp is
found in the city the next night he is run and given five days on bread and
water.
“In the summer time we work the tramps on a small city park
under way to completion. We find, however, that there is only one way to deal
with this question, and it is a very good solution to the question, and that is
the bread and water diet. Just as long as cities give tramps a good lodging and
good meals they will be troubled, and just as soon as they begin to give them
bread the bread and water diet they will give that city a wide berth. I assure
you.”
