Definitely make this the last straw. Join the conservatives of the Lutheran Church. Find a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. The ElCA is too far gone to be saved from itself. Unless your pastor is serious about breaking away from the ELCA. Go activist and try to get your church to secede from the mother ship. If you can’t accomplish that, go Missouri Synod. There are these churches all over the place. You’ll be happier. And still a Lutheran.
I exchanged emails with my pastor and he supports this bum and the anti-Israel agenda of the ELCA. Yeah, this is the last straw.
I didn't join the church because I'm Lutheran I consider myself non-denominational.
I would rather not go to a church than be associated with this garbage.
The saddest thing of all is my church has a member pop. of 5000 give or take. I won't be at church this week but I can bet you 100 bucks that they will "pray" for the "poor hamas victims".
I am gonna have to network with some Chicagoland FReepers.
Oh I tried to email the bishop to tell him off and I couldn't (it kept saying error) I want to call the guy and scream my head off.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
