Which church was it again that was ordaining homosexual clergy? (I’ll give you a hint, it starts with “Luth”).

It appears that many denominations don’t follow the Holy Bible.

ELCA and LCMS churches are miles apart in many of their teachings. Please don’t group them together in your skepticism of the original post. ELCA churches are free to ordain gay and female people. LCMS churches do not.

No...it begins with Evangelical!

The real Lutherans (Missouri Synod et al) are very conservative and believe homosexuality is sinful.

That was the ELCA, a synod that left the rails a long time ago.

This was from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. A much different group.

There are more than one denomination of Lutherans in the USA.

ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) is the leftist, liberal denomination that you are referring to.

LC-MS (Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod) is conservative.
WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod) is conservative.

There are other smaller synods and Lutheran denominations, most are conservative.
