I stopped going when the ELCA decided to embrace gays. Haven’t really found (nor looked for all that hard) an alternative. Not to sure about accepting someone else’s interpretation of God. All mankind is flawed, why accept someone else’s flawed interpretation? I dunno, still working some things out...
Why don’t you attend a local RCIA class and find out about the Catholic Church?
Have you ever tried the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod or Wisconsin synod?
Jesus embraces gays too, although he probably doesn't condone their behaviour.
If the ELCA condones their behaviour, then that is something else.
All mankind is flawed,
Yes, that's why we need a Saviour to "embrace" us.
Why accept someone elses flawed interpretation?
No need. Go to the source and let Him interpret things for you.
“I stopped going when the ELCA decided to embrace gays.”
Our church is in the process of revising its ancient Church Constitution. It’s being updated to specifically update regarding today’s issues that weren’t discussed 100 years ago — homosexuality for one. Practicing homosexuals cannot become members.
Husband: "Rosalee, I'm not going to your church. It's full of hypocrites!" Wife: "You know, Fred, there's always room for one more."
There ARE other alternatives you know.
I dunno, still working some things out...
HE'll wait!

Feel free to join me in the Episcopal church.
We suck, but there's always a ton of booze at every function, so there's that.
