. . . we are more conservative than you guys even!

Wellll, I don't know about that. . . . :-)

Charles,
Can you tell me why some churches stay in the ELCA even though their own stands directly conflict with them. As I said I attend an ELCA church that is much more conservative than the LCMS church I attended in another part of the country, not only on these issues, but in the service they conduct(by the book!). I just can't understand why they stay in--what holds a church back from moving to another synod? Even though my church differs from ELCA, I still feel conflicted by the fact they are a part of it. I'm asking this because of your unique position as a pastor.
Please feel free to freepmail me.
