My wife and I added to the number of those who left the ELCA and preferred a more conservtive group.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has rejected God and elected the flawed creature of Man to replace Him. The “leaders” of the ELCA have left His church; the church's parishioners did not leave Him. The result is for all to see: liberal, godless churches; feminist and homosexual pastors. The ELCA is a joke and the numbers of people rejecting it and the pap it serves up are telling. The problem for the ELCA is they cannot repent and go back to God. The ELCA is doomed to shrink to irrelevance.

I have two longtime friends in Minnesota who are Lutheran ministers.

One used to belong to the ECLA, but left because of ECLA’s turn to secularism (he says it is much more than just the ECLA’s acceptance of homosexuality). He has started his own church. He meets in an office building for services, and is building a following. However, he is struggling financially, and has no pension or health insurance for him or his family.

The other friend has remained in the ECLA and is trying to change it from within. He is getting beat up pretty badly with criticism and there are people who are trying to make unrelated issues into scandals.

Homosexuals, who don’t go to church anyway, have created a lot of turmoil among Lutherans.
