California church's first transgender bishop resigns after being branded racist for firing Puerto Rican pastor while wearing bullet proof vest and threatening to call the police on congregants

America's first transgender Bishop Megan Rohrer, 42, resigned amid allegations of racism

Rohrer was accused of wearing a bulletproof vest and insensitivity after firing Pastor Nelson Rabell-Gonzalez of a predominantly Latino congregation

The ex-bishop allegedly also threatened to call the police on a child and mother

The congregation became unruly and protested the ouster of Rabell-Gonzalez, which came during the Feast of the Virgin Guadalupe

Some congregants accused the bishop of smirking during the announcement, but an investigation found that the expression was due to Rohrer's autism

Rohrer resigned from their position in the church claiming there was too much misinformation, bullying and harassment

America's first openly transgender bishop resigned last week amid allegations of racism after firing the Puerto Rican pastor of a predominantly Latino congregation during an important Hispanic holiday.

Rev. Megan Rohrer, 42, who uses the pronouns 'they,' said that the 'constant misinformation, bullying and harassment' led to their resignation from the Sierra Pacific Synod, overseeing 200 congregations in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern California and northern Nevada. Rohrer was elected in May 2021 to serve a six-year term.

The bishop faced allegations of racism after they called the police on a church member and her child, which church investigators called 'an egregious action especially when dealing with the vulnerable communities of Black, Indigenous and People of Color.'

Rohrer was also accused of wearing a bulletproof vest when announcing the dismissal of a popular priest, Pastor Nelson Rabell-Gonzalez, whom they had fired from the Mision Latina Luterana in December 2021 the day before the Feast of the Virgin Guadalupe, a major religious holiday for congregants of the Stockton, California church. 

Rohrer had said that they had worn the vest when they made the announcement out of fear for their life.

You forgot to include "autistic" in your thread title.

Some congregants accused the bishop of smirking during the announcement, but an investigation found that the expression was due to Rohrer's autism.

How does one get accused of wearing a bulletproof vest?  Is that a crime, or against Lutheran canon?
