open defiance was their vote on it a couple years ago, their gay pastors. a gay bishop isn’t hardly their first act of open defiance on this.

The phrase “...and his partner” says that he and the other guy aren’t married. Would it be reasonable to assume they’re enjoying the sexual aspects of their conjugal relationship? Outside of marriage?

Many of us observers aren’t necessarily Victorian prudes, but isn’t extra-marital sex considered sinful behaviors in some sects? And isn’t this guy capable of getting a marriage performed to cover his ecclesiastical ass?

Just wondering.

That should be it. Now, every homosexual in this country should be employed. This was the last one.

Martin Luther is rolling in his grave and screaming obscenities at the church he created.

This is a game changer friends. The approval of homosexuality has always been open defiance of God by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America but now this action announces it to the world and defines what the denomination is about and what they believe.

Time to choose, ELCA members. Flee from Babylon or support an enemy of the Gospel.

Let that organization suffer the consequences.
Even more normal Lutheran churches should be bailing in the near future.
Congratulations to the ELCA for being so “progressive”.

Open defiance of God .... I suspect He is not amused. This will not end well, either in this world or the hereafter.

According to the California Lutheran University website, he has an endowed professorship, is originally from Oklahoma, and is a member of the Osage tribe of Indians. So he could have moved to Massachusetts and competed for office against Fauxcahontas, but instead settled for a well-paid job in academe.
