ELCA Bishop, Seminary President and Leaders Enjoying Time at a Gay Bar

8/15/2022

Last week the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America held it's Churchwide Assembly. The assembly brought ELCA leadership from across the nation together.

A social media post that includes a picture shows one unofficial gathering that took place (see below) and it includes a comment saying "@ELCA how many rostered ministers you think we can get in a gay bar? #elcacwa #cwa2022".

The picture posted below shows ELCA Synod bishop Kevin Strickland, ELCA seminary president (United Lutheran Seminary) R. Guy Erwin, along with apparently many other ELCA ministers.

The person in the front row with red hair and in blue is unknown.

(or see here)

The person who wrote the social media post was apparently under 18 years old in April of 2021 according to an ELCA biological information for nominees form this person filled out. (The ELCA form is posted on an ELCA run website but I am not posting a link because it contains personal information).

The ELCA official Twitter account shows its approval by retweeting the post/picture and saying "Having an awesome time in #Columbus for #ELCAcwa!" (See below)

"Rostered ministers"? No, rostered hirelings.

In the Living Lutheran's post-convention reporting, don't expect to see any dissent from the constant agitprop of the all-gay-all-the-time ELCA. And don't expect any stories of ex-gays and ex-transgenders freed from sin's grip by the restoring grace of Jesus.

'Why Are Ex-Gays (and Ex-Trans) So Dangerous?'
-- https://stream.org/why-are-ex-gays-and-ex-trans-so-dangerous/
[ . . .]
...If there is such a thing as ex-gay or ex-trans, then the whole idea that you are “born that way” goes out the window. If it is true that being homosexual or bisexual or transgender is not innate and immutable, then these things cannot rightly be compared to skin color, in which case “LGBTQ rights” cannot rightly be compared to those of the Civil Rights movement.

Yet that concept has undergirded LGBTQ activism for decades: “This is who we are! We were born this way, and we cannot change, and it is cruel and inhumane to suggest otherwise.”

The very existence, therefore, of ex-gay and ex-trans individuals challenges this foundational assumption. It also says, “Even if you were born gay or trans, the fact is that all of us are born broken and flawed and fallen as human beings. And to all of us, Jesus says, ‘You must be born again!’ Plus, "the bottom line is that there is no reputable scientific evidence that we were born this way, and our own lives prove that change is possible.”

That is why the very existence of ex-gay and ex-trans individuals must be so strenuously denied. They completely undermine one of the main pillars of LGBTQ activism. That is why they are considered such dangerous lambs.

. . .With our help, standing in solidarity and support of this small but growing community, that will not happen.

Flaunting their sin. Disgusting.

I see that on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 11, 2022, plenary session #6 voted overwhelmingly to reconsider the inclusion of a "bound conscience" position which runs counter to that of the pro-LBGTQ+ and it damns people to hell!

That's strange! I thought the "bound conscience" dictum was sacred in the ELCA!

. . . "Forgive us, Lord, as we repent of this sin!'

. . . 'How blessed it is to belong to a church body that is free to follow a God of it's own making!'

Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
