I was born and raised in Minnesota, lived there for 30 years. Tornadoes that come out of nowhere - as this did - are rare events ... and for it to happen at what is pretty close to being the mother church of the ELCA ... nah, mere coincidence. Don’t worry about it.

LOL! I thought that tornado took place sometime in the past but when I google searched for ELCA out of curiosity, I see it happened right when they were convening yesterday. Here is the REPORT from The Minnesota Independent:

Two close calls marked the third day of the General Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) on Wednesday. The nearly 2,000 Lutherans, media and activists assembled at the Minneapolis Convention Center took cover as a tornado nipped one side of the building and damaged the steeple of a Lutheran church across the street. A short time later, the 1,014 voting members would pass a social statement relaxing church doctrine on homosexuality with a dramatic vote that was exactly a two-thirds majority. One vote against would have killed the measure.

How many of the voting members are also members of ACORN?
