Depends on when the start was. It will be so gradual that you will not notice it, so It must have actually started around a hundred years ago.....

When Communist Russia began persecuting the church in Russia, the average church dwindled from 300 to 15; a 95% falling away. That was repeated in the satellite countries.

What a silly headline. It implies they were following the Bible up to this point, and now suddenly bailed out.

As for the story itself, I'm surprised it took them so long. My guess is the decision was taken long ago and they were waiting for a vacancy. There were certainly "gay" bishops before, just not "trans" (who are much fewer).

Sodomy is not just a sexual practice prohibited in the Bible, it is the official religion of the ruling class (transcending traditional denominational boundaries).

If you’re still attending a liberal church after watching their rot for a century now, you’re not a student of scripture.

The ELCA abandoned the Holy Bible LONG ago.

Thank God for the LCMS ( Lutheran Church Missouri Synod ) into which I was born, baptized, confirmed and married.

It's still conservative and bible-based, no amoral deviations

The ELCA abandoned the Bible and it’s Author years ago. They are apostate. I wish they would stop calling themselves Lutheran.

Life long LCMS granddaughter and mother of LCMS pastors. I proudly call myself Lutheran. The apostates need to change their name

There is a reason G-d warned us about ‘them.”

Please consider coming back to the LCMS. We know what it means to be Lutheran and would love having you

"Why doesn't anyone take ELCA seriously anymore?"
