The nat’l UCC office keeps trying to push multiple “social justice” issues on the congregations to get them to accept it. This usually takes a vote by the members.

Their are groups of people who in different ways try to push the Church, in various ways, to actually teach what the Bible says and not the PC way.

The ELCA has cut off funding to all Lutheran colleges according to some information I heard tonight. It is directly due to us who have left. They can’t pay the bills.

And the ELCA will be very vocal in placing blame on those who have left or on those who have stayed but “withheld” (redirected) their giving. We experienced this on a congregational level several years ago. No blame on the one(s) preaching heresy, just on the orthodox who don’t want to pay for it.
