Wow, obligatory taxes for a state run church, kind of reminds me of Obamacare...
Ping.
Hurrah!
Like Scott Walker did to the public employee unions. Ha!
About 8 years ago I witnessed hundreds of Episcopalians in Seattle leave their Church and join the Orthodox Church for the reason that the Orthodox Liturgy has not changed in nearly 2000 years.
Homos are being used as His “winnowing fork”.
Ought get a pitch fork and a rope storm the nation’s parliament.
Then look for some lamp posts.
We’re just getting down to our fighting weight.
There was a time when the church kicked you out for "dancing"...believe it or not....right here in NYS....by a major church.

Churches are a funny piece of work sometimes. For years I was told I would go to hell for eating meat on Friday. Then suddenly I was told it was fine.
I immediately wondered about all the poor people who had eaten meat the Friday before my Catholic Church changed its mind.
Which led to me wonder how men (Church hierarchy) could send me to hell or not at their whim.
Which led to me leaving organized religion as I realized organized religion has no purpose related to next plane, and can only operate on this plane. And since earthly churches are run by men, they are doomed to introduce error. If they didn’t intorduce error, they would never change.
Best to go straight to the Source, I decided. Much more dependable.
I guess they are Finnished................
That Finnish church is finished.

I am not LCMS, but there is a Lutheran synod that has rejected the modernism, relativism, etc. in today’s culture.
Good for them!
We are too close to government funding and controlling churches which are paid by tax forgiveness. Government money is how the left has used our government to take control of Christian/Catholic Universities and hospitals.
Churches condoning and even celebrating homosexuality is the line in the sand for many Christians. Ministers and Priests need to know this so they don’t get swept up into political correctness.
This is what its going to take.
If denominations want to truly change the direction things are going, they need to take their $$$ elsewhere.
It costs a fortune to keep some of these Monuments to Christianity running and in the long run, they are just buildings.
The Church, independent of denomination is made up of a united people, not a building.
