I wonder what the forcast is for Golden Valley?
LutheranCORE is very much needed to support those ever-diminishing faithful orthodox Lutherans who remain within the ELCA.
Their reasons for remaining vary. Some are fighting mightily through trying to introduce synod legislation; some by having their congregations restrict or redirect giving to their Synod and thus to “churchwide”.
Some, sadly, have essentially sold out in order to retain a position. “I have only a couple of years until retirement” says one Pastor. “I just started a new Call” says another. “I don’t know if I could get a Call in another Lutheran body” says another. Those sound too much like the excuses offered up by those who spurned the invitation to the Great Feast.
And I grieve for such, for they are friends.
