(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.) Kevin Strickland is a bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He is a man “married” to a man and is one of 10 practicing homosexual ELCA bishops (the ELCA has 65 bishops). As you can see from his below Facebook page, he stands for abortion, transgenderism, homosexuality, and “science” (which I think means he believes in evolution). His letter to the Supreme Court urges them to keep gay marriage legal and Strickland informs them that the ELCA approves of homosexual behavior and regards gay unions as the equivalent of Christian marriage. The bishop states that the ELCA marries homosexual couples not in defiance of the Christian faith, but because of it. As a Christian who has personally struggled with same sex attraction most of my life, but who abstains from that behavior for the sake of Christ and my soul, I ask you to please say a prayer for Strickland and the other 9 ELCA gay bishops and their partners. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says people who persist in impenitent sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God. If you are still an ELCA member, it is time to run from the ELCA. This is your leadership. In its healthcare plan, which is funded by ELCA offering dollars, the ELCA pays for sex hormone treatment for minors and also for sex change operations and abortion for any reason.

ELCA pastor Paul Drees posted a video on social media (see below) where he says "I've been praying for Trump to die" and then pastor Drees tries to justify his position. Paul Drees is featured in this month's Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Living Lutheran Magazine. (see here) In the Living Lutheran article the aforementioned video is addressed.

Transgender Pastor Asher O’Callaghan is assistant to the bishop in Wisconsin of the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. This is a woman who identifies as a man. She, I can’t say “he”, is said to be especially able to help congregations in transition since she herself has gone through sex transition.
She says to transgender “siblings” in the below video: “You are gorgeous…God is proud of you…Your body belongs to nobody but you.” But the Bible says “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). But the ELCA does not honor the bodies that God has given us. The ELCA pays for sexually castrating children through hormone blockers in the ELCA‘s healthcare plan, which is paid for by offering dollars. ELCA offering dollars also pay for sex change operations. If the below video doesn’t convince a person to leave this erring denomination, I don’t know what would. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock

Responding to the tragic shooting of children at a Catholic school in Minneapolis by a transgender sniper, the Minneapolis bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (a woman with a “wife”) wrote this:
“In a country where gun violence is the leading cause of death for children, we must lament, grieve, and condemn, but also work together to change this reality.” No, by far the greatest killer of children in America is abortion. I was talking with a Christian woman in her 20s yesterday who lamented the fact that 27% of her generation has been killed by abortion. 27%! The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America pays for abortion for any reason in its healthcare plan, which is funded by offering dollars. ELCA offering dollars also go to pay for hormone blockers for minors. In their promotion of abortion rights and the LGBT movement, liberal denominations like the ELCA are not part of the solution, they are the problem.
