The ELCA has adopted what I call the Theology of Whatever. It used to promulgate the Theology of the Cross: "Preach Christ and him crucified." But now we have the realization of Cheap Grace: A god without wrath brings sinners without repentance into a kingdom without judgment through the ministry of a christ without a cross.
Sin? Forgiveness? Repentance? Yeah, whatever.
Not to be suspicious or anything but isn't that pretty much why so terribly many Protestant Kings of the Swedish Empire used to keep someone on hand who knew how to say mass? There is this thread of non-belief in the broadmasses of the Scanderhoovian backbone you know, and that made it pretty easy for the gay blades to move in on the regular incomes and support ELCA can provide.
BTW, I can pretty well track my own Scandinavian ancestors OUT of the ECLA (and its predecessors) into such delightful cults as Apostolic Charismatic Church of the First Born (and the Baptists as well). This sort of thing gives me an idea what they were leaving!
