Lutheran Ping!
Christ is in our midst!
fyi
Errr.. Most traditional is the Wisconsin Synod. The Missouri Synod went liberal a little while back. No way EVER the Wisconsin Synod joins up.
It is widely expected that this will lead to a vast realignment, traditional Christians in one group, secular revisionists in another, opposing group, with the old denominations being far less salient than they have been in the past.
There will be a new category, just like in politics. Conservative Christians—Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox will align themselves with the Bible and Jesus, against the Liberal denominations.
That action, along with what is going on around the planet, will just make the divide Good & Evil more pronounced.
““It is my deep desire to refrain from statements against homosexuality, at the same time affirming the biblical stance....”
In other words,streamline it so that it is palateable to all. When the LCMS aligns itself with the Catholic bishops and the Mormons nothing is really changing.
Well, all these missions to the Third World are nice, but frankly, they need to do a lot of work here in the US.
It would be great if protestants could unite on faith and doctrine. Getting together just because we agree homosexuality is a sin is not a good idea.
Matthew.....keep your eyes on the ball son!!!
Christ is in our midst!
Harrison is a good man. I'm glad he was elected. I was a delegate to the convention last summer, and I voted for him.
“Lutheran leader sees Protestants aligning”
Short of the second coming of Christ, that’s not how we roll. Not gonna happen.
...an openly sodomite chaplain, I had not considered that. I’m sure the Unitarians and Epixcolians have one on standby immediately. Oh boy.
one thing the pinkos do not realise (or perhaps they do) is that the steps they perform in the west has a lot of repercussions in AFrica and Asia. When Gene Robinson was made “bishop” in the ECUSA, then devout anglicans in Nigeria were attacked by Moslems as “they supported gays”
