Is it going to make me wail, gnash my teeth, and beat my breast if I read it? Most of the ELCA news seems to be having that effect on me.
I told my Mom today that her Pastor was right for reading the tea leaves and leaving the ELCA and affiliating with the LCMC. I think her Parish has one last vote to make it official.

Okay, I went to that thread, and then to the pdf that shows the revisions to the hymns (all 600 plus pages of it). Obviously the ELCA has been taken over by Satan's minions, aliens from another planet, or by those who want to remake God in their own image, and have a feel good church of the Great "whatever we think is hip".
I called my still a Lutheran Mom afterwards, and was reading her some of the hymns, and their scarcely recognizable revisions..Sorry, but when they changed chariots of wrath to thunderclouds in my favorite hymn, I just became totally PO'd at them.
I'd like to nail 95 theses to their heads with railroad spikes.
