It looks to me like a lot of people (and churches) are patiently waiting to see how things "shake out" over the coming months. Some of my friends are contemplating visiting us over at our LCMS church while other friends are waiting expectantly for the NALC mission that almost certainly will start up in the area. It's good to take the time to pray and listen for God's leading. He has just the right place for each of us.
I’m not familiar with NALC. I can’t keep up. I know the LCMC is not an option as they will ordain women and have open communion. For now, I am very happy. I do expect Satanic attacks to be the norm for the real church and the attacks don’t bother me a whole lot. It will be the reaction to the attacks that are important. I have some issues that are deal breakers. If those lines are crossed, I’m outta there!!
