The ELCA provides medical coverage for its employees that includes coverage for abortion procedures. The ELCA is no longer a Christian Church in my eyes but a left wing political organization.
You’re a slow learner. Mr. CGG and I left more than 15 years ago!! :)
The last church we attended was Lutheran (LCMS). When I moved I looked for another ‘conservative’ Lutheran churches, and while there is one or two LCMS parishes their congregation(s) are quite small — they even share a pastor.
On the other hand, there are two other Lutheran Churches, and I think they are both ELCA. One has a large school.
Now, I don’t know if it’s common practice in ELCA churches, but the ELCA churches here only celebrate communion twice a month on something like the first and third Sundays. For some reason that immediately put me off (knowing they were mighty liberal in doctrine, IMO would’ve been enough), but it struck me as strange that something so central to Sunday services were curtailed...
At any rate, it is bad that they do not mention his excommunication. Those not associated with the Lutheran Church and all of its “divisions” could definitely be led to believe that Lutherans are pro-choice, and I know that was DEFINITELY not the case in our old church (LCMS).
