Rev Megan Rohrer was elected bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Sierra Pacific synod on Saturday, becoming the first transgender person to serve as bishop in the denomination or in any of the major Christian faiths in the US.

A lot....3.3 million
7th largest denomination in the USA
And largest of the Lutheran sects
Around 60 percent of Lutherans are in this sect
I first encountered them in New Orleans over ten years ago some youth convention that centered on making amends to black people
I asked my wife....who are these blonde people .....really a works oriented bunch
You say that as if leftists ever target anything other than the largest group.
Sorry I don’t understand ....your post
I’ll try to respond
Leftist attack what they hate
Evangelical Lutherans were known as kooks even when I was a kid
It’s made Mo Synod stronger....
It’s culture and there is a reason it exists where it does and not so much where I come from
I was thinking the exact same thing.....
They're/you're all hypocrites. Which is why I'm opposed to ALL organized religion.
“Major?” How big are they
Answering my own question 3.3 million according to wiki and declining.
R Catholic are 50 mill
Largest Protestant denom is southern Baptist at 16 mil.

Be rooted in Christ!
Nor are they Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ Lutherans or North American Lutheran Church Lutherans!
The ELCA has been increasingly heretical over a number of decades. I once sat with an ELCA pastor who later ran for the office of Bishop. He told me then that he had doubts that Jesus is God the Son. While I appreciated his candor, I was appalled that he failed to recognize his inherent duplicity.
If you construct the headline backwards, it will be easier to see where to put the asterisks.

"I missed my period this month."
It may well be right that Megan Rohrer uses the pronouns “they and them”! She may well harbor a legion of demons!!!!
We have quite a few well-qualified exorcists in the Orthodox Church, even in North America. Perhaps one can be dispatched to San Francisco, before this demoniac is installed as “bishop”!!!!
Disgusting.
You thought female pastors were bad?
How about fake female pastors? Or is it OK because they’re really male? LOL
Never mind the “welcoming” rainbow flags.
ELCA, I’ll never set foot in you again. Unless you repent. And help these people become normal instead of celebrating them as is.
Beware MO Synod.
I’m cynical. EVERYONE betrays, it seems.
I checked the MOSynod site last year after all this rioting broke out. While they did not specifically invoke Black Lives Matter (as almost all do), they immediately put up a condescending and insulting notice about how important diversity is and love, etc. veiled shaming.
Watch out for ALL “churches”.
Trannys are mentally ill and should be put away in institutions. Homos should be put away too. They are crazy and need to be separated from normal people!
Long story short, large sects tend to have centralized leadership, which makes it easy for leftists to infiltrate and subvert.
“Frankie’s hanging onto it”
At least in the desires of the Lutheran Church it will make one less partner to dance with. They think dancing can be a sin. Can be...but they aren’t totally sure.
“That the dance may become a vehicle of sin, as Luther pointed out (WA 1, 498; 24, 418–419), is evident from the development of the dance in decadent periods of history.

Sodomy’s swell!
