Are there ANY conservative Lutherans who are still in the ELCA? If so, why have they not run to the Missouri Synod by now?

Two issues: Women Pastors and Open Communion. The Missouri Synod does not approve of either. Most of those leaving the ELCA who found the homosexuality thing too liberal are themselves still liberal on the ordination of women and on Communion fellowship.

TwoFour issues: Women Pastors and Open Communion: "Young Earth" Creationism as an article of faith, and the (temporarily rescinded) ability of any LCMS member anywhere to bring charges against any LCMS clergy for allegedly teaching false doctrine.

Fixed it.
