PASTOR BETTY RENDON

Look at Facebook and get the details on the raid of the home and family of Betty Rendon, a Lutheran pastor who was beginning doctoral studies at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago. Her daughter, who was driving her five-year-old son  to school, was stopped and handcuffed. Then the house was raided and Pastor Rendon, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, was handcuffed. The whole time, her granddaughter screamed in fear as strangers brandished guns and all her adults were handcuffed and taken away. The unlocked house was ransacked and robbed.

As a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Fiorella is outraged! AS A HUMAN BEING, FIORELLA IS OUTRAGED!

Lutheranism is a restful religion. We have a lot of music in our churches and sing every verse of every hymn. Like our Scandinavian and German ancestors, we have a tendency to be plodders, but we're also stubborn. Thus, you've often heard Fio say "Here I stand. I can do no other," which, of course, is straight out of Martin Luther's playbook--except he said it auf Deutsch.

The raid on Pastor Rendon has reminded Fiorella that her widowhood problems are minor compared to what some people have gone through, and, while Fio doesn't have any political influence, she can write to readers across the nation and the world in such a way as to gain their attention, which is what she is doing right now.

STAND WITH FIORELLA--SUPPORT PASTOR BETTY RENDON!
