Elca has lost a lot of members with this move
“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.
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.
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....
It’s the BIBLE or NOTHING
So no biggie that they have now brought a fashionable eunuch on board. That's a minor detail not a final descent into anything new in particular.
Under 9k congregations now, wow. Was over 10k not long ago. I remember reading a few years ago that based on trends the ELCA will shrink past the LCMS in the early 2020s, looks like it’s still on track...
