I was a member of ELCA churches, 1989-2008. In April 2008, I joined LCMS church. That month, my dad, a retired ELCA pastor, told me that the ELCA committee on sexuality recommended that the ELCA never ordain gays and never hold gay weddings. I decided to join another ELCA church, and I was surprised, in Feb. 2009, when I heard that many ELCA leaders hope to pass a resolution, this year, to allow gay pastors and gay weddings. I hope that I can persuade many of the leaders to obey the Bible. I’ll contact many synod leaders and ask them to agree with the CORE proposal.
ELCA is now a lost cause. There’s too much momentum behind it, and the fellowship agreements with other denominations will propel this thing into being.
