The ELCA has become a liberal politically correct organization who is hardly “deeply rooted in Scripture.” They have become the magic marker religion - bring the marker with you to church and simply cross out the verses of Scripture you don’t agree with. Bishop Hanson’s father, who also was a Bishop, would be rolling over in his grave.
I was baptized, confirmed, and married in the ELCA church. Say what you will about The Catholic Church, but this garbage from the ELCA is why my family and I converted to Catholicism. Never regretted for one minute. We have found our home.
