with an appointment as a bishop by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has resigned amid allegations of racism after firing the pastor of a predominantly Latino congregation.
Rohrer was not available to speak with The Associated Press on Tuesday, saying they were “trying to rest and be with my family.”After Rabell-Gonzalez’s removal upset members of the Mision Latina Luterana, the Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, the denomination’s presiding bishop, appointed a three-person “listening panel” in March to review Rohrer’s actions.
On Twitter, Rohrer questioned the church’s move to continue with the disciplinary process following their resignation “without providing any specifics about what I allegedly did.”Members of the listening panel reported that the Mision Latina Luterana congregation had no idea their pastor was fired on Dec. 12.
“There are issues of broken trust at all levels, from individual members and communities to the broader church, which will need work to repair,” she said in that report. In a previous statement, the synod council said it decided to terminate Rabell-Gonzalez’s employment after “continual communications of verbal harassment and retaliatory actions from more than a dozen victims from 2019 to the present.” But church officials have not specifically stated what the pastor’s transgressions were.
