Are you talking about Lutherans, or the ELCA? There's a big difference.
your right on that!!
Along this line....a wee bit of humor!!

One the second page of the article it says ELCA.
However, the conscience objection only lasts until a rogue judge finds it violates equal protection. And these people know the rogue judges.
The agenda here is clearly not one of "live and let live".
The courts unfortunately may make that decision for all of us.
lol
lot of truth from our barnyard friends eh!! LOL
Neither is it a marriage, no matter what it is called.
Right. Thanks.
As I have witnessed in a few progressive congregations, they must rely on paid staff, staff while no doubt good, decent and loyal, will never be able to accomplish what a group of devoted believers would.
1. They got 1400 new members, but how many old ones did they lose?
2. More a long term question, but it would be interesting to see how long they KEEP the new members while old ones hemorrhage.
We all ought to sue the ELCA and ECUSA for using the terms Church and Christian etc.
TYPICALLY not governed?!!!! Anyone else not see this as a blatant shot across the bow?

These are “Lutherans” in name only. The ELCA ceased being a “Christian Church”. It is now a liberal cult.
***Have the Lutherans consulted God on this ‘redefinition of marriage’, I wonder?***
Marriage and the Church

One important thing to remember here is that the "very popular pastor" has pushed the gay agenda in this church, so I'm not certain just how much he'll "miss" his "old members" who are fleeing out the doors, in favor of his more modern-thinking new members.
“For Christopherson, using the term “marriage” will be one of the biggest changes. Central Lutheran pastors have held religious “blessing” ceremonies for same-sex couples since about 2000.”
What is the difference between a ‘blessing’ ceremony and a regular marriage ceremony? Is this something these particular Lutherans do for all couples, including straight/non-legally married or what? Why didn’t they use the term ‘marriage’ before if they thought it was possible?

Real Lutherans have. E*CA? Not so much...
