I can't see why some Lutheran freepers remain in an ELCA church all the while complaining about it.
I'm a baptized, confirmed Lutheran Church Missouri Synod member. I suffer no self-inflicted liberal trauma as a member of this conservative, bible-based Church.

I have a sister and brother in law who are conservatives--they left a LCMS for a United Church of Christ because they didn't like the close communion practice of the LCMS. I guess the Gia worship, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion agenda doesn't bother them nearly as much as close communion.
