Please note, it’s ELCA and not Missouri Synod!
Abominable!
The ELCA is a merged denomination of several Lutheran church bodies, which were once sound and Christian. It has since been taken over by Satan and his minions.
There are many older members who are (or at least were) Lutheran Christians, who for various reasons are trapped in ELCA congregations. I (formerly ELCA, since 2008 Orthodox) pray for these people regularly, and others should do so, too!
And no, the ELCA is not the Missouri Synod. And there are also several spin-offs from the ELCA which have escaped from Satan’s clutches!
* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.
Be rooted in Christ!

"As people around the world celebrate Christmas, it is worth remembering that Jesus was a socialist. Of course, he was born long before the rise of industrial capitalism in the 19th century, but his radical ideas have influenced many critics of capitalism, including many prominent socialists and even Pope Francis.Then there's this:"Pope Francis has consistently criticized the human and spiritual damage caused by global capitalism, widening inequality, and corporate sweatshops. Last week, he blamed the "god of money" for the extremist violence that is taking place around the world. A ruthless global economy, he argued, leads marginalized people to violence."
"Jesus was a Hebrew rabbi. Unusually, he was unmarried. The idea that he had a romantic relationship with Mary Magdalene is the stuff of fiction, based on no biblical evidence. The evidence, on the other hand, that he may have been what we today call gay is very strong. But even gay rights campaigners in the church have been reluctant to suggest it. A significant exception was Hugh Montefiore, bishop of Birmingham and a convert from a prominent Jewish family. He dared to suggest that possibility and was met with disdain, as though he were simply out to shock."The attack on Christianity seems to be at full throttle now. Led by the UCC and the ELCA and the mass media....
This some serious heresy going down.
