The Ichabod Lutheran Church in America can’t keep its congregant-mollifying propaganda consistent.

Homo “marriage” is “neither endorsed nor precluded by ELCA policy.”

I guess that Biblical morality thing doesn`t come into play here, does it?

And speaking of moribund world-appeasing churches, now that we're 9 months into 2012, when do we suppose the ELCA will release its membership losses for 2011? Was the position of member tallier eliminated in the latest round of budget cuts?

Revelation 22:15- anyone who practices sexual immorality will be denied entry to the Holy City, a metaphor for not qualifying for eternal life.

Any person who asks God to bless a union that He says is sin is taking God’s name in vain.

Be rooted in Christ!

“Blessings of same-sex marriages — and marriages in states where they are legally permitted — are performed.”

Why would anyone belong to a group that wouldn’t perform a marriage unless the state gave its permission? They are so beholden to the state to define the institution they are not going to marry members of their faith over it, even though they believe ‘gay marriage’ is possible?! That might be more insane than buying into ‘gay marriage’ in the first place. “Sorry Ted and Ned, but the state says no, and they define marriage for us state by state, so no marriage for you even though we believe gay marriage is possible, tough luck!” Just bizarre.

I mean what if the state quit issuing marriage licenses to them altogether, no more married members of the ECLA?
