The ELCA, which has 4.9 million members, allows openly gay clergy, but only if they are celibate. Still, many Lutheran churches support ordaining partnered gays and perform same-sex blessing ceremonies despite the policy.

This says so much about how these people don't get the fact how they've succumed to an utterly convoluted and perverted path.

This is the exact opposite about how God instructs his church to behave.

I agree.

I am “unchurched”, not because there is no church which would accept me as a member, but because I have found no church who’s covenants I can honestly accept and faithfully agree to uphold.

I have no desire to mock, either secretly or openly, the spiritual beliefs and traditions of the various Judeo-Christian religious denominations.

(I mock Islam, openly and often, as IMHO it is an evil, anti-spiritual, perverted political system, not a religion)

I do wonder why individual members of various congregations seem to tolerate pastors/priests/leaders who are obviously openly mocking the stated beliefs of the “church” they claim to have faith and fellowship with.

As an outsider, and one with no vested interests, I find the whole situation very sad.
I wonder what God thinks of it.
