I am a Lutheran pastor, graduate of the Lutheran seminary in Chicago, and a mission developer in Baltimore, south of Gettysburg.
This decision is rooted in the heart of our radical gospel, one that follows Jesus into the depths of love - and refuses to let death have the final word.
I'm proud to support LTSG.

If it is only a historical flag, why is it a banner of hatred so often? why is it banned in schools, public places...

I am a graduate of Gettysburg College (which, if it doesn't already have the same ban, should), a Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and an avid student of history. I gladly offer my support to those who "call the thing what it actually is" and make unwelcome this flag that symbolizes a historical revisionism at best and the heresy of racial supremacy at worst.

Your partners at Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Washington, DC, are glad that the seminarians took the lead on this issue over a year ago, and that the administration and faculty agreed. Thank you.

I feel the flags should be kept in a glass case in a museum only as they are a part of our history, however, they should not be flown over or around buildings.

I fully support LTSG and their stand to not display the Confederare flag at this time, as history unfolds by the second. I lived in N.C. For many years and this flag that waved was a representation of intentional oppression and white supremacy. While I hope to always be on the side of compassion alongside all people, at this time I stand alongside LTSG. A place that bears witness to the revealed mercy of Jesus Christ.

I am reminded by St. Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 8:9 that we are not to be a stumbling block for those who are "weak" - those who are in a weakened state by those in power.
