Not only does it not understand basic biology, it has rather tenuous grasp on English,
Words fail me. I weep for the Lutheran Church, but an happy to have been raised in the LCMS, and continue in the conservative LCMC (Lutheran Church in Mission for Christ) which eschews such obvious blasphemy.
And Jesus wept.
I’m sure whatever she plans on doing, it will be “messy.”
We are experiencing a full court press. Everywhere we look is messed up. I know it is on purpose. It has been coming a long time. The time is now for the Great Reset/NWO. I was hoping my Grandson would live in a normal world. I’m sad for him and for all of us.

A lukewarm church I will spew from my mouth. God saw this and puked

Only a matter of time before Pope Marx ordains a lgbtqwtf priest.

The focus will be on this ‘performer’ vs on The Lord.
Old Martin Luther must be turning in his grave.
For all his theological flaws, at least he still believed in robust
heterosexual marriage.
The ELCA is frankly, nuts
It is getting worse instead of better.
I have concerns about the LCMC. To my MoLu eyes, it is where the ELCA was 30 years ago, and trying to catch up.
