Nobody Expects the Missouri Synod!
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (not to be confused with the more liberal ELCA) has released a series of critical observations about other faiths. Among them Wicca.
“Those who practice witchcraft or Wiccan rituals would strongly disassociate themselves from any worship of Satan. However, according to the Scriptures we must conclude that this practice nevertheless serves the purpose of Satan by leading people away from the worship of the true God.”
They also tackle New Age and occult teachings and the dreaded Unitarian-Universalists!
“The UUA’s assumption that there is no definitive truth is contrary to the Lutheran conviction that the Scriptures are the very word of God and thus contain divinely normative truth.”
Man, I’m glad those Lutherans took the trouble to clear things up! I’m sure there were a ton people in their church practicing Wicca thinking it lined up with church teachings.
