ELCA is on the highway to hell

The leaders of that little racket have already found a parking spot.

I used to feel sorry for the little old ladies at my hometown ELCA church, but they have convinced themselves that the problem is in other towns, not theirs (while their masculine female "temporary pastors" preach "social justice" and can't figure out why young families have left for Bible-based churches).

The good news is that the ELCA's once-bottomless cup of rich farmers dying and leaving land to the church has about dried up. About 30 years ago, the senior pastor in that town would chuckle about always being able to buy new carpet or computers because one of the faithful congregants would soon be leaving the church some land or money in their will. They were living it up in those days.

That sucks because the church was also probably a conduit to unloading that farmland and old holdings out to corporate agribusiness and developers...
