Are the ministers going to meet with the innocent store worker that Mr. Brown assaulted in a strongarm store robbery before he was stopped by the policeman? Are the ministers going to meet with the innocent store owners and their workers whose places for earning a livlihood were burned to the ground by arsonists? They have suffered bona fide de facto and de jure hardship not merely perceived hardship as the individuals with whom the ministers met. Hopefully, they will also be offered the solace and comfort of LCMS ministers.
