Meeting 1B - Rutherford ALC vs. Steve Anderson

Augsburg Confession

Greer Apostolic Lutheran Church – Rutherford Road, Greer, SC. A lay preacher requested audience with the Board of Trustees to bring accusations of the preaching of false doctrine against Steve Anderson, also a lay preacher. The audience was granted on Thursday, September 7, 2011 where Steve was tried in abstentia for the Reformation doctrine he preaches. Steve was invited to Meeting 2 on Monday, September 12, 2011 to answer the charges. The Board voted 5-3 on Monday, September 19, 2011 to remove Steve from the ministerial rotation. The Board then scheduled a special congregational meeting on Friday, January 13, 2012 where the congregation heard the matter and voted 50­?41 to not reinstate Steve as a servant unto them. The bylaws of the church hold doctrine to be the King James Bible, the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian creeds, the Augsburg Confession, and Luther’s Catechism. http://finnforge.blogspot.com/2012/05/grace-apostolic-lutheran-church-open.html
