I had a conversation with my pastor in 2001 about my objections to the ELCA becoming an abortion church. He got rather huffy and defensive and said (in what seemed at the time to be a nonsequitur,)Well, he was proud of what he did in the sixties and wouldn't change a bit of it. I thought, How sad--thirty years go by and you haven't learned a damn thing. I don't think he missed me after that either.
I remember the discussions in what amounted to adult Sunday school about abortion. Only two people, myself and a nurse objected. It was stunning. The pastor was smart enough to keep his cards to himself. My break was more theological though, I wanted to find a pastor who believed in God.
