AMEN!!! Either the schmucks still sitting in the pews don't know that they're supporting a left-wing political organization, which is working against them , or they don't care. Ignorance is bliss.
I had it with the ELCA sometime back over their heading in a liberal direction. I don't intend to go to Church to come away irritated. Last time I was in an ELCA I almost walked out on the sermon so I didn't return. After the Elian debacle, I started checking out what Church bodies were members of the NCC -- not going to any of those either.
Think this may be why local nondemoninational churches are beginning to gain members. We had a church start up with 20 members and it now has over 2,000 and attracted people from a lot of the so-called "mainstream" churches. Kind of like the "mainstream" media if you ask me with both very liberal!
