(1)A suspect has been taken into custody, but the police will not divulge any other information.
(2)Attorney Dan Monnat said Tiller, 67, was shot as he served as an usher during morning services at Reformation Lutheran Church. Monnat said Tiller's wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time of the shooting.
Oh, yuck. What kind of Church is this? Satanic? Obviously they don't study the Bible much.
Tiller's attorneys issued a statement on behalf of his wife, four children and 10 grandchildren.

This church would have to fall in the “apostate” column to allow this man in the doors.
Just as much as any other Luthern group. I've attended both ELCA, LCA (predecesor to ELCA) and LCMS Luthern services. I was married in a very traditional LCMS church, my wife's, and my older daughter was baptized in another one, but confirmed in an LCA church. Younger daughter was baptized in an LCA church, and confirmed in a LCMS church. Older daughter attends ELCA, formerly a Swedish Luthern Church. So I've seen both. The services differ little if at all. The theology is the same, as far as I could tell. The social policy is different. Still the ELCA/Swedish Lutheran pastor is every bit a good a man as the LCMS pastor who married us, and he was a very good man indeed.
The way the ELCA pastor is with the babies and young children, he does all the baptisms for example, rather than "sharing" with his two junior associate pastors, I can not imagine him condoning abortion, most especially late term abortion.
The Lutheran Churches are not top down, as the Catholic Church and some others are. So Congregations vary within each of the denominations, sometimes they vary a lot.
