Stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm losing patience with the whole bunch. I was raised in the American Lutheran Church which through a series of mergers became the evil, wicked, ELCA. They're in with this bunch up to their eyeballs. Mr. CGG and I left 14 years ago for the far more conservative Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
Unfortunately, we still have naive family members who just can't bring themselves to leaving. They know it's wrong but they have hopes of reforming the ELCA. One would think, that this latest travesty would be enough to wake them up that the ELCA is hopelessly lost.
