From Pastor Will Weedon, Hamel, IL:
…they did it. [The] Minnesota South [District of the LC-MS] has sold University Lutheran Chapel’s building. Pr. Peters expresses his distress here. I utterly agree, and the only thing I’d add is this: Let us not in righteous indignation fall into the snare of the devil. Rather, when wronged by religious authority, let us do exactly what our Lord commanded us to do: pray for those who do the wrong for the gift of repentance; pray for the wronged for strength to be kind and forgiving and loving especially to those who have wronged them; and above all put our concern for University Lutheran Chapel to action by gifts of support. “…even when steeples are falling.”
