Does “she” still have her “Sommer sausage?”
I’m not surprised to see this happening in the land of fruits and nuts.
Atheists masquerading as Christians.

I’m assuming the ELCA membership is sinking lower than whale sh*t?
I’ll make sure and put them on my list of DO NOT visit denominations.
This is so hard to square, just with Christian tradition all the back to the beginning, much less scriptural Christianity. Why don’t these churches just admit they are no longer “Christian” churches?
Do I think Christians should have compassion and sympathy for the person who obtains an identity dysphoria manifest in an errant obsession that denies their biological sex? Yes.
But that compassion and sympathy, from others to the individual, to me is not appropriately extended to acceptance of their obsession as anything less than like an addict being given what satisfies their addiction instead of the tools to fight their way out of the addiction. That is not compassion or sympathy. It’s denial.
And worse, acceptance all the way to a “Christian” leadership position for someone who has not conquered the demons of such an obsession? No. Surely not.
So it’s a cult, not a church. Got it.
* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.
Be rooted in Christ!
The pastor’s pronouns are ”they, their, them.”
“My name is Legion, for we are many.”
As the 2009 ELCA Church Wide Assembly wrapped up their meeting which had approved ordaining active homosexuals two days earlier, on Friday, August 21, 2009, Rev. Matthew Harrison, (LCMS President since 2010) answered a question from Rev. Todd Wilken (at 9:46) on the Issues, Etc radio program:
Wilken: “Is apostasy too strong a word to describe what we’ve watched over the last — better part — of the decade that culminates this afternoon in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America?”
Harrison: “No, it is apostasy. There’s no way around it. It gives me great pain to say that, but there’s no other word for it.”
In its 2012 “Response” to the ELCA’s 2009 decision to recognize “homosexual marriage,” the LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations stated (p. 21): "The ELCA has now taken this step, embodying apostasy from the faith once delivered to the saints."
Thus the ELCA organization has been recognized by the LCMS as neither Lutheran nor Christian. The XXXA is a tool of Satan.
Amos 8 whole chapter but in particular ... notice all denominations would by necessity included..
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
I don’t think this is what George Washington and the brave patriots had in mind for America. As in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah . . .we have been warned.
Blasphemous. Satan has a hand in this. If your church does this run away as fast as you can. I was raised a catholic. I saw in the 80’s that something was terribly wrong. With pope Francis, the takeover is complete.
“Therefore the holy church cannot and may not lie or suffer false doctrine, but must teach nothing except what is holy and true, that is, God’s word alone; and where it teaches a lie it is idolatrous and the whore-church of the devil.”
— Blessed Martin Luther, *Against Hanswurst* AE 41:214
A typical main line church that sold it’s soul to Satan and became a liberal cult.
So glad I left it, nearly 20-years ago!
Going down the same slime road as the Episcopalians. If 2 Thess 2:3 is falling awy from the Faith then we are in it now.
