And the NAZI purge continues...
I thought that the church’s entire mission was “conversion therapy,” conversion from sinner to saint, from darkness to light, from separation to fellowship, from bondage to freedom, from death to life.
The mainstream churches have gone over to the left, and are no longer churches.
Conversion therapy obviously works — there are thousands of therapists assisting formerly normal people to “come out” as homosexual.
She’s burning bridges in front of her too.
Darn shame.
ELCA = Heresy.
She could have went to work for another Lutheran organization who rejects the narrative that being labeled a “fundamentalist” is absolutely a bad thing.
As a member of a real Lutheran body, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, I resent them corrupting the name “Lutheran”. They are Lutheran in name only.
Oft thought but ne’er so well expressed.

Amen I wish they would call themselves something else
The long prophesied falling away is well underway. I pray that my church will hold fast to the truth as all churches who still preach the real Gospel. God will preserve a remnant for Himself. Stand fast and look up for our salvation draweth nigh
In the Holy Bible the book of Jude is located right before Revelation.
It just seems so applicable to the current siuation.
This is happening, it has happened before too so...we just don’t know the whens but, we do know the hope and the truth about it.
It’s jaw-dropping, isn’t it, the groups which are falling into apostasy.
Fortunately we were warned that this does not surprise us. Still the breadth and swiftness of the collapse is astounding
Not really because the only thing the LCMS and ELCA have in common is the name, which is a travesty but other than that, there is nothing Lutheran about the ELCA and the two denominations have nothing to do with the other.
They sure don't have a problem with it going from straight to gay.
It's only going gay to straight that pushes the libs over the edge.
As if someone's sexual orientation is anyone else's business.
If someone wants to go straight, last I heard, this was still a free country and if they want to go for therapy to go straight, I don't see that it's anyone's business.

Pastoral Letter to the United Lutheran Seminary Community
Dear Friends in Christ,
Yesterday, the Board of Trustees made important and difficult decisions about the future of our seminary. One of those decisions included electing me as your Acting President. I humbly accept this position with an awareness that there is much work to be done to bring about healing and restoration. Though this position is only temporary until an Interim President can be identified, I want you to know that I am fully committed to working together in earnest to heal divisions and unify our ULS community.
As we approach the coming days and weeks, I look forward to meeting with our community as we begin our work together to build a new, unified Seminary. I will be in Gettysburg today and Philadelphia on Friday to meet with various people. Let me assure you, I will listen with an open mind and heart to the stories and perspectives of all the seminary stakeholders, including LGBTQIA+ members, our African American members and any others who feel as if their voices are not heard.
These are difficult times; but in such times, we cling to God with trust and hope. This hope will guide ULS leadership and our community to a greater and deeper understanding of our undeniable faith. Together, we will make decisions that will strengthen and sustain ULS. I pray for this outcome because we must create a community where all feel safe. Nothing less is acceptable.
The story of United Lutheran Seminary is only just beginning. Despite our infancy, The United Lutheran Seminary is a vibrant, compassionate and loving community that has already overcome many obstacles. While we have a long way to go, through God’s grace, I trust our story is Christ’s story, a story of death and resurrection. Through continued prayer, thoughtful discussion and active listening, I am prayerful that out of these recent painful and difficult events will come new life.
I invite the ULS community to join me in prayer for God’s light and guidance for healing, trust, wisdom, and compassion.
Bishop Jim Dunlop

The Modernist/Marxist/Secular revolution has set in and has been successful.
The authentic remnant holds fast amongst all the smoke ...
Pray for each other, brother ....
You're being a little naive about this, metmom. No, they DO NOT want such therapy to be available to anyone who want's to "go straight." They started out with this goal in KKKalifornia, but had to scale back to a "protect minors" position. Now, they are going for the gold and trying to prohibit ANY such therapy, even for adults.
