The Metropolitan Chicago Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is proudly promoting in their synod newsletter:
- the book launch for a book called “Queer Clergy.”
- a talk about “Palestinian Solidarity.” (see here)
The Rocky Mountain Synod's newsletter from a few months ago promoted:
- A lecture series by Marcus Borg & John Dominic Crossan, two extreme and heretical religious scholars, held at an ELCA church
- A gathering of “progressive Lutheran theological thinkers.” (I've never seen an ELCA synod promote a gathering of conservative Lutheran theological thinkers)
- An ELCA weekend event critical of Christians who support Israel. (see here)
Three ELCA synods in Illinois and Lutheran Social Services of Illinois promote Lutheran Advocacy—Illinois, a justice ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Among the issues they advocate for are:
- an increase in Illinois' minimum wage
- a state bill that would expand the sealing of criminals' records to include additional non-violent Class 4, 3, and 2 felonies. (see here)
