The USCCB is seeking full communion with a "church" (ECLA) that has female, and non-celibate homosexual persons as "priests" and "bishops". The ECLA also permits induced abortion under certain conditions, including fetal abnormalities.

It (ELCA) is also a church that actively supports Islamism and the destruction of Israel, and is already in in full communion/cooperation with the Episcopalians.

Looks like the USCCB likes everybody except that Jesus guy and his book.

Actually, this isn’t surprising in the least.

Keep in mind, this is the ELCA being referred to as “Lutherans.” The ELCA is an apostate, LINO, pseudo-Lutheran group.

E.L.C.A.
Tune: “Y.M.C.A.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k

“Luth’ran”
Doesn’t mean quite the same
As what you’ve been
Taught to know by that name.
We’re removin’
All the scandal and shame
Of a church that stands for something.

Luth’ran,
No, you’re not misinformed,
Yes, it’s true now,
We commune the Reformed.
No forced union
Made us bow or conform,
Just a warm and fuzzy feeling.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
We have women in black,
Now there’s no turning back
To the hang-ups of dead white guys.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
You can set yourself free
From dead orthodoxy,
You can do whatever you please.

Luth’ran,
Won’t you please come along
To the Elca,
Where’s there’s no right or wrong.
In the Elca,
Heretics can belong,
They can teach at seminary.

“Luth’ran,”
But our fingers were crossed,
All our doctrine
Has been totally lost.
All that’s Luth’ran
Is what we have embossed
On our cards and stationery.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
We have women in black,
Now there’s no turning back
To the hang-ups of dead white guys.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
You can set yourself free
From dead orthodoxy,
You can do whatever you please.

Elca,
Where it’s very uncouth
And unwelcome
To say you have the truth
And where seldom
Is a word ever heard
To discourage sin or error.

Elca,
Where it’s all shades of gray,
I said, Elca,
Where it’s hip to be gay.
Our umbrella
Is as big as a tent,
There’s no need for you to repent.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
We have women in black,
Now there’s no turning back
To the hang-ups of dead white guys.

It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
It’s fun to be in the E.L.C.A.
You can set yourself free
From dead orthodoxy,
You can do whatever you please. . . .

Confusing. Thought that the Lutherans and Episcopalians had merged. So this is a fringe “lutheran” group and crazy psuedo catholics “getting together”.

Whatever it takes to make the ELCA go away. They are not even Christian, don’t follow any of Luther’s teachings, wouldn’t recognize God’s word if it stared them in the face.

I am ready for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod to stop be lumped in with these heretics by association of using, in this case, misusing, Luther’s name.

So ELCA just go away - merge with whoever will take you, but just go away and stop misusing Luther’s name.

I am a LCMS Lutheran.

The ELCA is not Christian anymore. It doesn’t even pretend to be at seminary.

If the Catholic church embraces them...

I expected this to happen after the invitation was extended to the Anglicans.

I’m sure it’s not going out to the ELCA, but to the faithful Lutherans of Missouri Synod.
