I did it over 3 years ago. I saw this coming and saved my son from it.
Mr. CGG and I left the ELCA for LCMS at least 15 years ago and couldnt be happier. We have found a church home that is firmly rooted in the Word. Its exactly what we want.
As a lifetime LCMS member, welcome to those that have already come to our Synod, and Bertha, I think you will love our church. Several of our recent new members are former ECLA members and they are very happy with the LCMS. I have visited several other Lutheran Synods and other denominations during my life (when visiting friends), but always thank God for my home church.
One LCMS pastor put it this way: "We preach the Word. We don't translate the Word to suit our need at the time."
What a travesty. My devout German Lutheran grandparents helped build that church. Can you image if they would see their "church" now.
