I know an ELCA member who supports ordaining gays, although she knew that some churches would leave, if the CWA passed that resolution. She told me, “Churches should conform to society.” I said, “No, society should change, to obey the Bible.” We argued for about a half-hour, but she didn’t change her mind.
The only two pieces of advice concerning moral living coming from ELCA churches are
1. Give more money
2. Homosexuality is a gift - go for it and we will celebrate it with you.
Is she preparing her arguments pleading her case for entry into Heaven while standing at the Pearly Gates?
You won.
