The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America recently held an event called "Sharing the Gospel in a 2.0 World."   On day three of the conference Muslim and Buddhist prayers were giving at the invitation of the ELCA.  

Two students who were with a group called Interfaith Youth Core, and whose Muslim founder and executive director Eboo Patel (read here) was a keynote speaker for the "Sharing the Gospel" event, gave the Muslim and Buddhist prayers. 

Sue Rothmeyer, ELCA Associate Executive Director for Youth and Young Adult Ministries said, "out of hospitality we offered these students the opportunity to pray." Rothmeyer went on to say, "we carefully stated to (the assembly) it was out of the student's tradition and we invited everyone to listen and participate as they felt comfortable."

A conference attendee said of the prayers, "I think everyone in the room thought they were quite beautiful and appreciated people sharing something out of their faith traditions."

I have problems with the inclusiveness gospel the ELCA is preaching and conducting.  They sacrifice the Good News for the sake of trying to be accepting, tolerant and understanding.  The fact of the matter is, sharing the Good News is the most loving, kind and caring thing they could do.  But bringing people to the saving grace of Jesus doesn't matter to these ELCA leaders.

Now they have prayers, to false gods, given at their "Sharing the Gospel" ELCA event.  Jesus would NEVER allow that.  He would have been filled with holy anger if the prophets of Baal were in the temple leading people in prayers to their god.

Sadly the real Jesus doesn't matter in today's ELCA.  Satan has them rejecting the Bible and following his rules.  Then the ELCA cloaks everything they do in quasi-christian language and hope you don't notice.
