The abomination is spreading to even rural congregations of ELCA. Saw one ELCA church in a town in southwest Minnesota flying the “rainbow”.

I am sorry to even ask, but how possibly could a supposed Biblical based church of any kind allow for active homosexuals act as religious?

Have I fallen into some sort of rabbit hole? Aren't Homosexual acts specifically forbidden in the bible in numerous areas? If so, how do you condone active sinners flaunting their sinful lifestyle be involved in the clergy?

Just Asking!

So far most efforts at rebuking the 2009 Assembly have been falling short, albeit by narrow margins.

Chicago has been adament that any memorials asserting departure from the ELCA Consitution's Statement of Faith will be ruled out of order at the next Churchwide Assembly.

The revisionistas are firmly in control.

I suspect they are going to try to stop the hemoragging going on. A lot of Lutherans in SD have left ELCA for LCMS anyway the last few years and with 14 congregations either leaving or in the process, they have to do something.

What I see is that the small town churches are fighting the ‘gay takeover’ while the city churches (Rapid, Sioux Falls, and Aberdeen) are much more likely to be ‘gay friendly’.
