The NALC has been in existence for just over a year; during that time its first Bishop, Paull Spring, has openly courted congregations contemplating leaving the ELCA.
I have no love for the ELCA, having left there a little over a year ago; however, I believe that Bishop Spring’s behavior is an egregious breach of ecclesial good order.
The RCC (Roman Catholic Church) has been in existence for nearly 2000 years, and finds it amusing when several Lutheran denominations point fingers at each other and accuse the others of being “schismatic sects”
