I predict that they will force through the homosexual agenda and it will result in many Lutheran Churches breaking away to form the American Lutheran Church.
Pastor Baker's last statement about what Jesus was really about collides head-on with the liberals charge for moral relativism. I would like to see us out of the UCC for good!
I don't think the ELCA will issue a pro-gay statement this year as scheduled....especially in view of the election. I predict you'll see a watered down statement that gives no meat to either side. They're running scared in the pocketbook.
I think you meant the NCC or WCC - National Council of Churches and/or World Council of Churches. The UCC is the United Church of Christ, a denomination with whom we have full communion but we are not actually *in* it. On the other hand, I, too, would like to see us out of both of those organizations as well as not in full communion with the UCC. Of course with the current "anything goes" ecumenism in the ELCA, fat chance of that happening.
