The Episcopal Church became a "Full Communion Partner" with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America through the agreement "Called to Common Mission" which was adopted by the ELCA in 2001.

Therefore:

Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Be rooted in Christ!

Have been trying to read an article called “The Death of Protestant America” on First Things site, but it keeps giving a malware warning....darn.

The Ichabod Lutheran Church in America will probably be dutifully following suit any day now.

As I recall, the “bishop” of our synod just before I left the ELCA wanted to “bless” same-sex “unions”, and maybe did so under the table. This was back in 2008. So this is coming to a synod/parish near you if you’re in the ELCA.

The Church cannot bless what God does not bless!!!!
