If you go to the Advocacy Facebook page of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America you will see how obsessed the ELCA has become with the LGBTQIA+ movement. Within one month five different LGBT Lutheran leaders have been highlighted in articles like the below of a transgender clergy candidate. Of course, not one article features someone who upholds the traditional, Biblical viewpoint on these issues. In 2009 when the ELCA voted to ordain practicing homosexuals it was agreed that all views on homosexuality would be respected in the ELCA, but they are not. No view but the liberal one is mentioned anymore. One by One Ministry, a conservative group which helps people out of homosexuality and of which I am a part, inquired about buying an ad in Living Lutheran but was refused. The rest of the ELCA Advocacy Facebook page is devoted to article after article on liberal politics. Sadly, preaching Christ for the salvation of the lost is conspicuously absent. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock https://www.facebook.com/elcaadvocacy/photos/a.10150091631749513.272721.132358089512/10156416380554513/?type=3

In my mind, the ELCA is not a church denomination anymore. It is a far-left activism group packaged and marketed in a thin, cheap wrapper of dumbed-down, heretical quasi-spirituality.

As the Bible-repudiating competition accelerates, the ELCA keeps vying with the PCUSA, UCC, and Episcopal churches to see who'll reach extinction first.

heh-heh. Again these comments are spot on! I graduated from Christ Seminary-Seminex in the 1980s and continue to see this "New Lutheran Church" as it once upon a time was called, disintergrate right before my eyes. Sad it is.
