Even the red Synods are changing hue. But I am impressed by the very conservative young seminarians coming along. Each generation rebels against the previous generation so there is hope that as the 60's folks move into retirement a more orthodox leadership will emerge. Just Newtonian physics applied to ecclesioloy.

The problem is, will we last that long?

We just got over a serious leadership problem which led to a serious money problem...now people are leaving or withholding their money because of this ELCA foolishness. Our church has close to or over a million dollar budget to keep our facility open and our staff paid. If we can't pay the bills, we can't offer the ministries. I really resent this stuff interfering with legitimate ministries of the church.

If you knew what was going on at the sems, you would not be.
