Behnke. When I originally heard that Rev. Behnke participated in a huge gathering of prayer in the midst of the anguish and chaos in New York after the September 11 terrorist attack, I was very proud. The publicity generated by suspending Rev. Behnke has made the LCMS an object of ridicule, a laughingstock. To think that anyone would object to a witness of prayer in a public arena in the precious name of our Savior is beyond belief. Satan is rubbing his hands with glee! It is good to know that there are still sensible people of strong faith in the LCMS who will stand up and be counted. The suspension of Rev. Behnke was a travesty. I can't imagine that God will let it stand. Candace R. Bettendorf
