If you send your children to an ELCA college or seminary, do you know what the professors are teaching them? Before you send another check in support of these institutions you should find out what you are supporting.
It is also important to remember that our present and future pastors and leaders of our churches have studied and are studying at these institutions. What they learn while they are there will be what they bring to their congregations, for the length of their ministries. Here is a list of ELCA professors that came out in support of the ELCA proposed and now approved decisions taken at the Churchwide Assembly in 2009.
Here is another statement and list of resent and former faculty of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. (I believe seven signers are repeats from the list above) Present Faculty Members The Rev.

An august group! Many of these professors I know and respect. To answer your question, yes, I absolutely support these leaders of the church.

I pray for you! I think he has listened and has been listening for a long time. Your personal attacks on his character surely will have no impact whatsoever. I respect these professors too, but they can still be wrong. And, the definiton of a fundamentalist is not someone who is unable to listen, they have roots in the scholastic movements.

Dash, thanks for your comments and prayers. I really do mean that. You are also in my prayers. The purpose of my site is to inform people what the ELCA is about. If they want to support it, like yourself, great. But there are many others who do not know what the ELCA is up to and would not support it if they knew. Those people have a right to know the teachings, policy and beliefs of their denomination. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
