I'm glad I left the ELCA for the LCMS--no women clergy. These people will eventually be back in the same soup they think they're escaping now.

They are willing to take a half step to get back to Biblical principles but they're not willing to go all the way.

....These people [joining NALC or LCMC to support women’s ordination] will eventually be back in the same soup they think they’re escaping now.....

You’re right!

You and aberaussie became LCMS, I became Orthodox, and Michael Root (the former dean of the ELCA’s Southern Seminary) has just become Roman Catholic.

So at least some ELCA Lutherans are not stopped from joining churches that do not ordain women.

By the way, with the departure of Dr. Root from the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, if anyone who has any connection with the Traditional Christian faith at all is thinking of becoming an ELCA pastor—don’t do it!!!! With even Southern Seminary becoming hollowed out, ALL the ELCA seminaries will be lousy, not to mention heretical!
