Just wondering how many Lutheran congregations out there are thinking about splitting off of the ELCA ? I am not asking whether you agree with the ELCA or not, just wondering how many of you attend churches that are leaving the ELCA and how many of you attend churches that are thinking about it and how many of you are attending churches that are sticking with the ELCA ? The local Lutheran church seems to want to stick with the ELCA, however many churches near us are in the process of discussion of what to do and quite a few smaller rural churches have recently voted and are leaving the ELCA. Here is a link, I know a few rural churches have left the ELCA since this article was printed. http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2009/11/23/fifteen-minnesota-churches-leaving-elca-over-gay-pastor-vote |
