I questioned why any “church” that names the name of Christ would let that person darken its doors.

Of course, many liberal “churches” these days are simply apostate, the whore of babylon.

The ELCA was an "ecumenical" organization formed of several different ethnicities (and synods) of Lutherans. It's breaking up into a different form than it's origin.

I suspect a fair number of the remaining ELCA congregations will look around and tie up with the United Methodists (there being no essential difference between them).

The question of gay priests is peripheral to the dissolution of the organization. That would have happened anyway.
