I’m just curious about something. The ELCA, or whatever “it’s” name is, that now allows gay and women Pastors.
I believe any Lutheran Church that has disassociated itself with these people should also disassociate itself with the Lutheran name.
Perhaps it is just me, but if you think “mainstream”, they think ALL Lutheran Churches are like that.
Perhaps it is He who is “herding His flock” that allows it. I just think any Lutheran Church that has disassociated itself with the PC should also disassociate itself with the Lutheran name.
I have NO IDEA what is going on with this upside down, right is wrong being, but I want NO part of it.
After the merger in 1988 the group became extremely liberal. I recall receiving their stupid publication, The Lutheran and it was more than I could stomach. I knew they were a bunch of liberal Democrats advocating things I knew I didn't believe in and one day on a whim I stoppped by a LCMS chuch and went in and asked the pastor if the LCMS belonged to the NCC (a deal breaker for me). He assured me they didn't and I also asked him if they had an official position on abortion
He also assured me their official position was that they were opposed to abortion. The only time I was ever back in an ELCA church was on a special occasion such as funeral, etc. My old home church has since left the ELCA which is very good but they are now LCMC and I believe they will accept women pastors. That is not for me, either.
I completely agree about the name. The name "Lutheran" doesn't mean anything any more. Of course the word "Christian" doesn't mean much, either.
Anytime you see the words, "Evangelical Lutheran Church in America" you need to run the other way.
