At least they are checking their white privilege.

Looks like they still feel the need to indoctrinate some flyover county clergy on “Reconciling in Christ...what is it?”

Registration is sold out at 800.

It’s nine o’clock: Do you know what your congregation’s “Continuing Education” dollars are doing?

SO. HAPPY.

I wish those idiots would stop calling themselves Lutheran. It is embarassing for those of us who truly belong to a confessional Lutheran Church (holding to the Augsburg confession) The rest are not Lutheran and are apostate.

I’m glad that I don’t attend an ELCA church. My wife attended LSTC, and the professors said that the devil doesn’t exist, Jesus isn’t devine, and/or Jesus isn’t a man. She graduated from another seminary, and she was ordained by the Lutheran Orthodox Church.

The last regional conference I attended (2005) was all about faggotry. That is why my backside is in an LCMS pew every Sunday.

Welcome to the LCMS. May we continue to hold to the confessional Lutheran faith as outlined in the Augsburg confession. I sure wish the ELCA would stop calling themselves Lutheran.

The LOC has about 50 pastors, including some who live in PA, NY, IN, IL, and NV. The majority of the pastors don’t have churches, so they work as chaplains in hospitals and/or nursing homes. Here is their website: http://www.lutheranorthodoxchurch.org/default.html
