It will be very interesting to see how this plays out, given ECLA Secretary Swartling's directive that there is to be no "dual rostering" of clergy and congregations.
Concievably, a dual rostered congregation could be expelled from the ELCA for that infraction, sparing it the necessity of the two 2/3 OF THOSE PRESENT votes 90 days apart while still being able to keep its property.
Very interesting times.
But then, the ELCA has a long history of picking and choosing which rules it wants to enforce. Witness Herchurch.
