My neighbor was talking about how her (ELCA) Church and its school were slowly dieing. It was really sad.

The ELCA has lost over 500,000 members and 1,000 congregations since their endorsement of homosexuality. Its donations are also drying up: Donations were $88 million in 2008 but only $40 million in 2011.

$40 million is still too high. It might be that the generous donors left are uninformed about the direction of their own church.

I would not describe my LCMS as "moderate." I would say the conservative/confessional alliance (where I would fall) outnumbers the moderate/church growth alliance.
