Heretics long ago took over the ELCA, However there are synods that remains true to Christianity - The LCMS, WElS and a few smaller ones. Unfortunately, I’m beginning to think we will have to find something other than Lutheran to call ourselves - I want nothing in common with the ELCA, not even the name.
Could you sue the ELCA to force THEM to change THEIR name?
Heck, tell them to replace the “L” with an “O” - they might leap at the chance!
