The burgeoning population of lesbians in ELCA seminaries is a problem. The church leaders have been foisting them off on small rural congregations in order to avoid angering the big givers in large congregations. However, no one wants Rev. Jane and her “wife” living in the parsonage, so they quit coming to church and another congregation is destroyed.
Satan is laughing all the way to the desecrated altars. God moves another lamp stand to Africa.
The ordination of women as pastors is the first stage of the rot.
If you’re not faithful to the Bible’s definition of who is qualified for the office of pastor, then everything else is up for grabs.
the SBC has its own share with the cooperative baptist fellowship. they believe in the acceptance of women as pastors. i know some friends in the cbf that have posted the = sign of their facebook accounts in suppport of the gay/lesbian agenda.
I completely understand why those attending small ELCA churches which get clergy like that foisted upon them essentially “go Galt” and stop coming.
Alas, if real Christians were coming out of the seminaries, they wouldnt be able to send the Lesbians wherever they wanted. I guess the lack of (good) vocations isnt unique to Catholics.
