The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has taken more steps in it's rapid decline into apostasy as it appointed the denominations first transgender bishop.
Megan Rohrer was elected on 8 May to lead the Sierra Pacific Synod of what is the largest Lutheran institution in the United States with 3.3 million baptized members and over 8,900 local congregations.
The newly elected bishop will oversee around 200 local congregations in Northern California and Northern Nevada in the next six years, starting in July.
It was also announced that the bishop-elect should be addressed with the pronouns "they/their".
Rohr was the first transgender person to be ordained by the ELCA in 2006 and now makes "history", the pro-LGBT group Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries said. "We anticipate the day when all queer ministry leaders will be called to ministry settings without hindrance or barrier and will be affirmed in their God-given calls".

Elca has lost a lot of members with this move
E.L.C.A. PING!
30 years ago the local ELCA pastor was head of the local Right to Life. How things have changed for the worse.
Myself included
“The 2001 assembly mandated the church to engage in studies on human sexuality. The first emphasis dealt with questions about the blessing of same-gender unions and the ordination of people in committed gay or lesbian relationships, in which the task force issued its report and recommendations on homosexuality in January 2005. The 2005 ELCA Churchwide Assembly took action on those recommendations. “

From a ‘study on human sexuality’ to ordaining a homosexual bishop in 20 years. How ‘progressive’.
I believe Martin Luther would refer the them as a whore church.
I can’t recall very many things ever changing for the better
That’s a man,baby!
When I lived in Soldotna, AK we went to the local ELCA congregation for a while. Most of the members were libtard teachers. We wound up at a non-denominational Bible church after about a year. I liked that a LOT better.
I did t think they could go any lower. they have been there for a long time
The "bishop" teaching Sunday school.
How many folks are in the pews on a given Sunday morning?
When Lutherans become “Lutherists”.
I’m sorry but these people are Not Christians....
They’re against all the principles of the Body of Christ..
I would urge every member who believes in the Biblical qualifications of the Church and it’s leaders leave and find a True Bible believing Church....
Indeed....
God will not be mocked. the “Religions” are getting desperate for butts in seats and I hope people realize you do not need to go to a building to have a relationship with God
No Butts, No Bucks
Do the math, they are
How on earth can someone submit their child to such filth?
It’s the BIBLE or NOTHING
You need a church that follows the Word of God, Jesus
It is Jesus or nothing. Jesus is the Word of God. The Bible is a collection of God inspired books.
Remember that Paul referred to the Septuagint when he wrote that scripture was god breathed. The gospel of john, The obok of Revelation and many epistles were not yet written when paul wrote that.
