Send out the Lutheran Ping Tony.

With the ELCA heading for a train wreck with the homo marriage thing, I doubt that the denomination will last to long.

The scary thing is the LCMS convention this year is going to be interesting also. There is a group of people who want to divide the church of the Yankee stadium issue, and some who will not rest until that happens. It should be a long summer.

The Praying before other Gods thing, right? Which is worse for a LCMS pastor, pray with a Catholic Bishop, a Episcopal Priest, a Southern Baptist Minister, a Jewish Rabbi or a Iman/Mullah? Or, are they all the same?

There is a group of people who want to divide the church of the Yankee stadium issue, and some who will not rest until that happens. . . . These people make the Catholic Rad Trads look like kindergarten teachers at times! I have had a few discussions with some of the more radical Uber conservatives, and they tend to get on my nerves.

I guess I'm one of those "radical Uber conservatives" who would get on your nerves, then, Red. :-) 'Cause I'm very much opposed to what David Benke and Jerry Kieschnick have done in regard to the "A Prayer for America" service at Yankee Stadium. In fact, I have documented all the facts and analyzed and written extensively about it:

Yankee Stadium Prayer Service: An Analysis

IMO, it is they--Benke and Kieschnick and the JesusFirst and DayStar groups--who have exacerbated the division in our synod, by their departure from our historic position on unionism and syncretism.
