The MO Synod will do fine as long as they demand accountability from their leadership. The ELCA had deferred to the perfumed princes in the Twin Cities for so long that they didn't realize it was out of control until it was too late. Local pastors were unwilling to blow the whistle, and thus the sheep have "done got sheared."

Local pastors were unwilling to blow the whistle, and thus the sheep have "done got sheared." There are whole congregations of ELCA breaking away. Some of my family is involved in such an undertaking. There's another synod forming. One name is Word Alone but there are other names, too. I don't really understand it all.
There are complications such as property and pastors' pensions.
Me? I saw the light and got out of ELCA and went to Mo. Synod 12 years ago.
