NO SALE.
Re the LWF in the USA represented by the Evangelical Lutherans, or ELCA:
The ELCA ordains women as pastors, a practice that all three of its predecessor churches adopted in the 1970s. Some have become synod bishops. ...The most recent ELCA hymnal, Evangelical Lutheran Worship, includes alternate gender-neutral invocations and benedictions in all settings. All of the psalms and many of the hymns and parts of the liturgy have been altered to remove masculine pronouns referring to God.
Ordination of LGBT clergy and blessings of same-sex marriages; on August 21, 2009, the ELCA’s Churchwide Assembly in Minneapolis voted to allow congregations to call and ordain gays and lesbians in committed monogamous relationships to serve as clergy.
Yeah, me too. Unless Catholicism agrees with Lutheranism about justification by faith alone, I can't see how there can be any "healing" unless they expect everyone to ignore that gaping hole. Watering down the gospel is never a good thing.
The LWF is about as Lutheran as Pope Francis is Catholic—at least according to his detractors here on FR.
In short, it’s a bunch of leftists blathering on about leftism and trying to disguise it as the Christian faith
A pox on both their houses.
