I left the Lutheran Church two years ago because it looked like it was leaving me. And leave me it did. :(

It's really sad what they're trying to stick on Christ these days.

And the Lutheran's show again that they haven't been on message since Martin Luther himself...

Come home to Rome, Lutherans.

"I believe the Gospel of Christ calls us to fully include everyone in the church. Homosexuality is not a sin," Thomas said."
Well, the Bible says homosexuality is a sin. But why believe the Bible - let's just all make up our own rules to live by. By the way, does anyone know if the Lutheran Church is growing in the US or going down hill? I go to a Baptist Church and we welcome everyone but no way we would ever ordain a homosexual minister.

This is sad. I have come to the opinion these folks work with the ACLU mentality. They know it will take decades but they will keep hammering at American churches until they allow the ordination of homosexuals as "normal" behavior. Which of course splits the denominations. So a sad day indeed. I doubt they get the 2/3rd's vote this time. But this will not be the last we hear of this. They will stay at it for the long haul.I hope the church is prepared for that.

Come home to Rome, Lutherans.This one did, about 23 years ago. And it truly did feel as if I came home.

Where did you go? I've about had it with the ELCA myself.

My Mom and Dad were Lutherans for about 15 years. The Lutheran churches in our area are nothing but a bunch of religious country clubs, where the focus is less on Christ's teachings than on your social status - the type of car you drive, how expensive your home is, your net worth, etc.
They quit in disgust and never went back. They became members of an Assembly of God church and couldn't have been happier.

I recently left a Lutheran Brethren (you're up north, are you familiar with them?) congregation for the ELCA church I was baptized in down here in Texas. They seem pretty conservative to me. I guess I just got the luck of the draw.

So? The church will lose
thousands of Christians. It will
gain dozens of gays!

An SBC church opened up here recently, I might give it a look see. My old country Lutheran church is as it always was, very conservative, but it's an hour drive out there and I tend to be a bit groggy on Sunday mornings from time to time. I've been attending a local Lutheran, but it's almost as bad as this Milwaukee synod looks to be.

And it's probably livelier, too! I was episcopalian (and other denominations until I found the one I'm in now) and I couldn't be happier to be out of the 'so called' mainstream.

Bishop Paul Stumme-Diers said it was important to maintain unity within the church Yeah, hold hands with a fister who just explored someone's you-know-what and sing Kumbaya.
