The trial for Pastor Bradley Schmeling gathers

The trial for Pastor Bradley Schmeling will commence on Friday, January 19, 2007. We will try to keep you up to date about what is taking place in Atlanta. The amount of information that we can tell you about the actual trial will be limited. Bishop Warren has decided that the ELCA will conduct a closed trial. We will also tell you of the events happening at St John's and elsewhere in support of Pastor Bradley.

There is an excellent article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about St John's and its welcome of Bradley Schmeling when he became the pastor there, and why this congregation is now so supportive of him – now and in whatever outcome there is from this proceeding.
