"The ELCA has fallen into heresy. It is time for confession and time to resist. It is a time for new life." Those who do not agree with CORE are not enemies, Spring told the convocation. "They are our brothers and sisters in Christ. Be gracious in your dealings with them," he said.

The congregants may not be the enemy, but even those that don't agree with the changes from the convention but remain in the ELCA and stay silent are 'working for the enemy'. Deal graciously yes, but admonish them to return to repentance and forgiveness. Some members are in fact working for the enemy outright even though they don't discern it. Others have their politics above faith in God and are knowingly working this destruction but fearing not God, don't care.

.....even those that don’t agree with the changes from the convention but remain in the ELCA and stay silent are ‘working for the enemy’.....

The Church Fathers said the same thing.
