If you are interested in the ELCA, I ran across this and posted it the other day.
“The problem of the ELCA, and of all mainline Protestant denominations, is the problem of any large, wealthy, traditional organization that has lost track of its mission. The ELCA is like Phillip Morris, which now calls itself Altria. It was built on a product of which it is now heartily ashamed.
For Altria, of course, the product was tobacco. For the ELCA, it’s the Cross of Christ.”
