If they were remotely orthodox they would have left ELCA a long, long time ago. It’s not like the Missouri Synod (moderates) and Wisconsin Synod (more conservative) don’t exist already with a national scope.

Looks like another denomination took the poison pill. I do agree that “conservatives in the ELCA” must be a microscopic bunch.

How are Missouri Synod Lutherans moderates? I am a Missouri Synod Lutheran and we are very Bible/Christ focused, traditional, faithful Christians.

I was thinking the same thing, why don't the leave the ELCA? I grew up in the ELCA and now attend a non-denom. bible based church.....

I would have to disagree with your view on the Missouri Synod......I find them to bible based and very conservative......

I am Missouri Synod and it is very conservative. The ELCA and MS were once very close. Those unhappy ELCA congregations should split and realign with MS.
