I’m not even going to speculate which side any of these folks are on. It is obvious that the actions of the ELCA continue to cause much pain and heartache in congregations all across the country.

A good argument for keeping decent church membership records at all times. It makes a difference.

I know a pastor who had people come to vote at a meeting who had literally not stepped inside the church in forty years.

When my Church starts having Homosexual Bishops and performing marriages for homosexuals I will either find a new Church or quit going and hold my own Sunday services.

A poorly-written article, clear as mud, and typical of the scribblings of young skulls full of mush just graduated from some new-age journalism school.

I wonder what the reference to "college hazing" meant, but I guess we weren't meant to know.

Drat, I wanted all the juicy details of the meeting, LOL.

Jack Hieb, president of the church’s congregation council, asked that the police be called during the meeting, which was held in the Fellowship Hall.

Such fellowship this ELCA abandonment of the Bible hath wrought.

"Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and sinful enticements that oppose the teaching you have learned. Stay away from them."
