The president of the Lutheran but Always Friendly Synod (LAFS) denounced today’s election in a news conference early this morning. The Rev. Rex P.L.W. Stuckworsch stated:
“I am aghast at the fact that our government is promoting election on this day--just four days before we celebrate Martin Luther’s birthday. In addition to our strong historical stance regarding predestination, our view that the government should not be involved in the free exercise of our faith must be upheld. I will be requesting congressional hearings regarding this flagrant interference of the state into matters of the church. The government has no right to declare this to be ‘election day’ before every nuance of what that really means can be sorted out.”

After being informed that today’s election day has nothing to do with predestination, Rev. Stuckworsch clarified his press release statement:
“Never mind.”
