However, I made my statement because I see the ELCA becoming more and more liberal (my in-Laws are ELCA) with the homosexual and female agenda... by doing that they are becoming more and more distant from the teachings of Jesus Christ and eschewing the teachings of Martin Luther. I don't know the specifics of the "sola scriptura" problem between St. Paul's and the ELCA. Anyhow, in a few of the Evangelical Lutheran churches it seems like they are almost Universalist Unitarians, IMVHO.
Tough times for Christianity, no matter where one stands.
