In reply to LCMS Church Information Center.

Dear LCMS CIC,
Pastors' Harrison and Days' earlier statements are non-sequitur and so much empty bloviating in light of their follow-up to BSA's May 23rd decision. What counts is the non-committal and Biblically void statement issued here which says nothing and offers no leadership, or Biblical reference. Worse yet, using the RCC (Roman Catholic Church) for precedent.

"So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves." Mt. 27;24 ESV

Hence, our Synod washes it's hands of this sinful and volatile issue and leaves congregations to individually twist in the wind.
