I would think the more discerning of your colleagues would not miss the meta-message: that ECUSA's implosion and ELCA's incipient self-destruction have been observed with interest, and multiple emotions, and evaluated here, for months and years.
It would behoove leaders of a church in a state of decomposition to attend to how they are being seen by the larger community on which they depend for survival.
This forum holds tens of thousands of the very people ELCA could recruit to stanch the bleeding of membership. But all you can do in your "Christian" pastoral mask, is to insult and degrade those here who are seeking the true gospel and of whom you know not.
Now please, say what you really mean--that the ELCA you seek to create will have no room for traditional Christian sinners. You intend to be "inclusive" but not THAT inclusive, don't you John. Or perhaps we should just say, "We sinners are not good enough for your "New ELCA" church."
