America's first openly 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 and northern . Rohrer was elected in May 2021 to serve a six-year term.The ex-bishop had been found by a church 'listening panel' to have engaged in racist behavior by threatening to call 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.'
