Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Christ is in our midst!

And the ELCA leaders remain as willfully clueless and euphemistically deceptive as ever.

Rev. Dr. William Gafkjen, ELCA bishop of the Indiana-Kentucky synod:

What does your job [as bishop] entail?

"I assumed the role at a time when there was a lot turmoil in the denomination; in this synod we have lost almost 10 percent of the congregations. A lot of it has been interacting with congregations during their discernment of whether to stay with this denomination. As a synod in transition, we're spending a lot of time gathering up and casting vision, talking about what it means to be a church for the world."

"Gathering up and casting vision""? "Church for the world"? ELCAspeak at its most fraudulently unctuous.
