Hope you are well lightman. My church voted to stay ELCA. On Sunday. It was a sad day for about 200 of us. At least I know my path now. Many of us are talking of starting a new Church. We also have a Lutheran Church in a nearby city( about 15min.) that will welcome us. I appreciate your postings and keep us in your prayers.
Prayers for you as you enter your journey. My wife and I left the ELCA some years ago for this very reason, among others. Now with the LCMS and quite happy.
