What's going on has to do with the cost of ELCA ministers (priests), their retirement plans, and the availability of spouse-less homosexuals to fill the available jobs for less over the long run.

All of the big denominations with hierarchies have found it necessary to take advantage of the lower cost opportunities presented by homosexuals.

The source of the difficulty is most likely Fidelity Investments, but there may be others in the business of peddling retirement annuities to churches.

Rather than renounce Christian theology and tradition it would be better for these churches to simply trim back the hierarchies and reduce the overburden.

No doubt the Missouri Synod folks look safe ~ but that's just for the moment. The long term retirement annuity problem is going to stir their hierarchy up as well.

I certainly don’t buy that. Homosexuals are not less costly especially ones who are active sexually which are the only ones that are real homosexuals. The cost of providing health care alone is enormous.
