| The Rev. Dennis Maher
shared with us his letter to the Layman - one brief corrective response to all the
talk about a "Confessing Church"
German confessing church history 'turned upside down'
[4-27-01]
For some reason, the Presbyterian Lay Committee and especially Dr.
Ulrich Mauser have completely turned upside down the history of the
German Confessing Church. They opposed an authoritarian government which
sought to control everyone's lives, restrict and ultimately eliminate
Jews, the unfit and the inferior.
What was missing from Dr. Mauser's list was the Faith Movement's
opposition to homosexuals, who were also sent to the concentration camps
and the gas chambers. Once they are added to the list, it is clear that
you reverse the original confessing church by adopting Hitler's own
program: against the liberals, the homosexuals, all who will not confess
Christ, and all who are "unfit and inferior" because they do
not view God and the world as you do. Your "movement" does not
follow Jesus Christ nor the constitution of the PCUSA.

Dennis L. Maher
