You do bring something to mind I've been thinking about. It would seem to me that it would be a good idea to take some kind of refresher course of Luther's Cathechism.

What about entire ELCA congregations that leave the ELCA, would they be required to take instruction in the new synod? I would think they would welcome the opportunity to be instructed. I do. I am so grateful for my traditional, extremely knowledgeable pastor that I give thanks for him over and over.

[right way right]

Well thank you for saying that.
Your point about a kind of refresher course of Luthers Cathechism will offend some.
Not me, because I understand your point and actually agree.

I can forsee a bit of a hesitency on just welcoming the ELCA faithful with open arms and without conditions.
Another thing is we have a very biblical pastor at my church and I see a strong possibility that we may very well make a quick exit from the ELCA.
