I heard that the Chicago Metro. Synod and the Iowa Synod, of the ELCA, have Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell rules for gays. Do you know of any other ELCA synods who have the same rule? If so, please list the synods.
ELCA policy as of August 2009 is that gays in “publicly accountable lifelong monogamus relationships” (PALMRs)are no longer barred from being Ordained.
The Ordination of one such person in San Fransisco was a feature article in the Lutheran magazine a couple of months ago.
