Try the LCMS - you get to keep the Lutheran liturgy and hymns and leave behind the liberalism. I understand the Wisconsin Synod has also remained true to the Bible and the Lutheran catechism, but can't tell you from direct experience.

That was a Missouri Synod church. It was one minister who really would have been more comfortable in ELCA. As I said, they have a great pastor there now but the damage is done and is probably beyond repair. Loss of a lot of old families because of the liberal pastor and an earlier division over having a church school, an aging congregation and a no longer stylish down town location are slowly driving the old congregation under. I wasn't able to find a LCMS congregation with the feel my old church had or new has and to spare. You are right about LCMS in general, but not for me. I am way too happy where I am now.
