FARGO — Fargo's largest Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregation has suspended its funding to the ELCA.

Local control is best.

Good for them. There are many good pastors and priests who do not support the leftist agenda in the churches.

This is a job for Obama's stealth hate-crime legislation that he tacked onto the defense appropriations bill last week.

They're after the children....Deny them again and again and again.

Look at Cher's kid....What an abomination...

Finally an ECLU church gets it.

Good news, IMO

If the ELCA based its teachings on the Scriptures and had a quia subscription to the Lutheran Confessions, homosexuality would thoroughly condemned. The ELCA interprets the Scripture through the eyes of cultural relativism. As the culture changes, so does morality. The “church” must change with the times. A denomination that marries the culture will soon be a widow.

Great Church! Went to summer bible camp there many years ago. I was Methodist but they welcomed me with open arms.

As a former Fargoan, I'm proud of them.
