In a ceremony that started with a public mea culpa and ended with a prolonged standing ovation, three lesbian ministers were officially embraced Saturday by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

The three were the Rev. Anita Hill, pastor of St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church in St. Paul . . . .

And so the ELCA continues to die to its own applause.

This Anita Hill is Caucasian and likes women so much that she is “partnered” with one.

At this time I can neither confirm nor deny that the infamous pink parasol which had covered the Gospel hook at a similar cermony in San Francisco July 24 had a return engagement.

Anita Hill is in two committed relationships?

The Rev. Barbara Lundblad [preacher] added with a wry smile: “I think there are people here today who realize that sometimes rules have to be broken.”

She here stated quite succinctly the crux of the problem: Unfettered rebellion.

Sounds like Protestantism.

Lutheran CORE is a coalition of pastors, lay people, congregations and reforming groups. We seek to preserve within the Lutheran churches in North America the authority of the Word of God according to the Lutheran confessions. Our intention is to work with congregations, individuals, and other reform-minded groups for the renewal of churches, by:

1. Encouraging individual reform-minded congregations, laypersons, and pastors.
2. Supporting and offering coordination for the various Lutheran renewal groups in North America.
3. Addressing significant theological issues.

Among a host of issues, there are four that trouble us most deeply. These are:
* the need to affirm the authority of the Word of God within and throughout our church;
* staying focused on the Great Commission to make disciples of Christ;
* preserving in teaching and worship the biblical name for the triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
* and our profound concern over changes in doctrine and practice regarding marriage and sexuality.

Taken from the Lutheran CORE homepage. This page also lists congregations which are on board with these teachings.
Word Alone ministries is another group within the ELCA looking to put the brakes on the train before it becomes little more than the proverbial hand basket.

Okay, that’s John Hodgman from the Mac commercials, right?
