(The following article was written by Rev. Tom Brock of pastorsstudy.org. You can follow Pastor Brock on Facebook - here and Twitter - here.) The below promo for the seminaries of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America mentions being a prophetic "voice for justice" and mentions sexuality showing a transgender (?) person. God and Jesus are not mentioned. Evangelism is not mentioned. Bible study is not mentioned. That is telling. One thing that matters in this promo is "justice", which in the ELCA context often means liberal politics, gay rights, etc. I would suggest that anyone who seriously wants to study God's Word as it has been interpreted for 2000 years not "show up" at an ELCA seminary. Sincerely in Christ, Pastor Tom Brock

Geez. Nice poetry but what does all this have to do with the Gospel message of Jesus' redemption for the whole world? This was an English major's foray into the poetic sublimity of all things having to do with aesthetics and the Enlightenment...and of course social justice. But what does this have to do with the New Testament kerygma? Somebody has confused the whole project and the ELCA loses its identity more and more. More reason for this former ELCA leader to move toward the LCMS.

Yeah, show up and drop your offering at the altar of the ELCA apostasy. That is all that really matters. Come and fund the failing seminary system of the ELCA (yes the same one that took $62,000 from me and gave me a junk education, which I have been repairing for ten yearrs). Just Show Up. It doesn't matter what you believe of if you believe anything, because, "Hey! It's all about you anyway. It's not about Jesus changing the world; its about you changing the world. This bunch just digs the hole deeper and deeper, much like other leftists: if at first you fail, just keep doing the same thing at a higher level. The bright side is once the ELCA implodes fully the NALC might be able to get a really nice former Lutheran seminary for cheap.
