Here's a link to their website:<br /><br /> https://www.forminglutherans.org/<br /><br /> If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, you'll see a statement that "This program is made possible through a Vital Worship Grant from the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship."<br /><br /> I searched for 'Calvin Institute' (clever name, by the way) and found its website:<br /><br />https://worship.calvin.edu/<br /><br /> If you go to the website, you find articles such as "Faithful anti-racism is the time of pandemic", "David Bailey and Erin Rose on White Supremacy", and "Anti-Racism in the Renewing of Christian Worship 2020".<br /><br /> So, we have the LCMS encouraging its pastors and lay-people to attend a seminar sponsored by a Calvinist organization, which has a blatant anti-white and anti-American agenda.<br /><br /> Moral of the story. It seems like our LCMS is not far from the practices espoused by St. Francis Xavier church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-84667972460793144952020-10-26T10:27:39.025-05:002020-10-26T10:27:39.025-05:00This "church" is St. Francis Xavier in N...This "church" is <a href="https://sfxavier.org/" rel="nofollow">St. Francis Xavier</a> in New York City.<br /><br />In addition to yoga in the chancel (worse still using mats of non-liturgically correct colors!)
