Lifelong LCMS here and mother of a LCMs pastor
another Luther quote take. out of context. Luther would abhor this behavior
Try the LCMs. ( Lutheran Church Missouri Synod)
Mother-in-law of an ELCA pastor here.
He is a total kook and an avowed communist.
Studied at Univ. of Chicago.
Huge Obama fan.
Lord, have Mercy!
He would. He’d never anticipate this is where we’d end up. I did not in any way mean to suggest that he’d be OK with tranny bishops. But what I did mean to say is that when people sin boldly, rather than coming to believe in God’s forgiveness as Luther wrongly supposed, they usually come to believe that God approves of their sinful behavior. That’s exactly what happened here.
I am struggling, too, Diana. I was born and raised in a conservative German Lutheran church that was affiliated with the old American Lutheran Church. When the ALC combined with the LCA and became the ELCA, it was the end of the church as I knew it. I am totally disgusted and sickened by what my church has become. I am trying to find a LCMS or WELS near where I live. I will miss my church family, as they supported me through the deaths of my daughter and husband, but I cannot attend a church that is not even Christian anymore. God Bless You!
I am an LCMS pastor. If you let me know your ZIP code, I can probably find a good LCMS congregation near you and give you the info.
Back in the early 90’s, when the ELCA was formed, we belonged to an ALC church in Morgan Hill, CA. A family in the church announce that they were leaving the church as the proposed direction of the ELCA was antithetical to the those of the ALC. We thought that they were a little off the rails. It turned out that we were sheep.
In the early 2000s, we belonged to an ELCA church in Leesburg, VA, when a representative to the synod assembly from our church made a report, glowingly praising the pro-homosexual agenda that they had passed. After the service, I took my son’s hand and we got in the car and went looking for the LCMS church supposedly in nearby Ashburn, VA. I had no idea where it was located, but just asked God to take us there. Somehow, I made the turns that seemed right, and there it was, right in front of us! We talked to the pastor, and the rest is history.
Thank you both!
I found this search base so far:

It never occurred to me that there would be something like this. Duh! :)
I found a LCMS church about 12 miles away, which would be driveable for me in good weather. I’m really buried in the countryside; winter driving is a hazard! Highland, WI. Thanks again! :)
AND.......
Yes, many Serbian Orthodox parishes have their services in English!!
I’m confused. Megan Rohrer used to be a “they”, not so long ago.
Now Rohrer is a “he”!
I believed that Rohrer was born a “she”!
Does being confused make one a “bigot”?
I used to be LCA, and ALC. I was even in that now notorious ELCA parish in Cambridge, MA.
Then I found the Serbs......
If you don’t address [this person] by the proper pronoun, you are worse than Hiter!
“Hiter”.......
Do you mean “Hitler”, “Hater”, or both?
Thank you!
That was indeed a great blessing for you and your family.
The last time I debated with the son-in-law, the topic was drag queens in elementary schools and libraries.
He was all for it, and gave many weak arguments. I was shocked. he has crossed a line, and I don’t want him near my younger grandchildren.
Good thing he lives in Germany now. He hates the USA.
Thank you!
I wish all the liberals who hate the USA would move to Europe!
