ELCA Publication Promoting Gay Youth Camps

John Brooks, spokesman for the Chicago-based ELCA, recently spoke with the NewsOK, an Oklahoma Newspaper.  The newspaper said that Mr. Brooks “estimates about 25 gay and lesbian individuals have been ordained since the policy change.” (read here) That doesn’t include the unknown number of gay and lesbian ELCA clergy who were ordained before the 2009 decision under the rules that homosexuals could not engage in sexual activity.

However, the really disturbing result of the ELCA’s action has been the multitudes of ELCA members whom the leadership has deceived and gotten to condone something that God, for our own good, told us not to do.

Also disturbing is that the ELCA is preaching this damaging lifestyle to our children.  The Lutheran, which calls itself, “The magazine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America,” has a story in the April 2011 edition called, “ELCA Camp Experiences Support Gay Youth.” (see here) (Exposing the ELCA reported on these camps last year - see here and here)

The article promotes the ELCA’s gay youth camps and ministries.  You can be assured that the ELCA is not telling the youth what the Bible says about homosexuality, even though that is the loving thing to do.  Also, the youth should be told that, with God's help, many people have left the homosexual lifestyle.  (see Exodus International) 

Jesus says, “And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.”  Mark 9:42
