Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Rockford, Illinois, is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and is located 75 miles away from ELCA headquarters in Chicago.
If you attend Emmanuel Lutheran Church you should know that they are "embracing a broader view of Jesus’ life and teachings as a path of transformation for our own individual spiritual journeys, our ReFresh service draws upon readings from the Bible and other sacred texts, poetry, dance, and song." On Emmanuel Lutheran's website homepage they say "We are open to the uniqueness of each person's story and are about helping you discover your gifts and your calling. We seek to become compassionate servants of God, reaching out through service to heal and inspire Rockford and the world. We learn from our own Christian tradition as well as from other cultures and religions." (see here) Mixing religions is called syncretism. This goes against God's Word. (See Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelation 22:18-19.) That is what Emmanuel Lutheran in Rockford looks to be doing. Below is how this ELCA church describes a couple of their services (or see here).

This same ELCA church recently hosted a Sufi Meditation Gathering, (see below) which is Islamic. 
Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Rockford, Illinois, describes itself on its home page as "PROGRESSIVE. INCLUSIVE. CREATIVE." (see here) Below is their LGBTQA Support information.
ELCA pastor Franek is very passionate about politics, and he loves to share his perspectives. In one of his articles he wrote, "Currently one party, as it struggles with messaging and infighting, is fighting for the soul of our democracy. The other is a dumpster fire gas lighting the nation and enabling a president who poses a clear and present danger to our national security, civil rights, and planetary health." (Read here) On Rev. Franek's Twitter account he made 143 tweets, retweets and replies in a 24-hour period. (11/1/18 2:55 p.m. to 11/2/18 2:55 p.m.) And he did not tweet that in one sitting. The tweets took place in at least 21 different time blocks throughout the 24-hour period. I'd call that obsessive. Below is some of what Rev. Franek has written or shared: 
This woman's ELCA church takes young teenagers to places where false gods are worshiped. 
ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton tweets to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (WELCA) posted this "Bizarro" comic. So many issues with this. 1) It puts a false deity, Buddha, on equal grounds with Christ. 2) Seems in the comic they are speaking about the Islamic rule that one is not allowed to make an image of their god Allah. Many have been killed for doing so. And here WELCA is posting a comic saying these religions should have it also. 3) And another tiring complaint aimed at white people, saying they make Jesus out to be white. Too bad WELCA and their ilk don't realize that Jews come in many different shades of brown. From very dark to very light, which people call "white." Jesus could have had any of these shades of skin color.
But it fits the ELCA narrative.
