Advancing LGBTQ+ Agenda On ELCA Summer Youth Camps

5/14/2020

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is targeting youth by way of ELCA summer camps for kids. The ELCA's Living Lutheran reports,

"On Feb. 4, the ELCA announced the initiative Total Inclusion! Widening the Welcome at ELCA Outdoor Ministries. The program, made possible by Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies, is designed to equip and empower outdoor ministry organizations as they move toward more intentional welcome of people who historically have been marginalized in the church—especially people of color, people with disabilities and people who identify as LGBTQIA+." (see article here)

The ELCA has been championing the gay, lesbian and transgender agenda for over a decade. Don't be fooled by the word "Welcome." The ELCA is making a strong push to celebrate and encourage these lifestyles among young people. They are sending a clear message.

ELCA churches and members who believe God's Word have to ask why they remain in a denomination that is harming people and teaching in direct opposition to God's will. The Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin, and the ELCA is standing in opposition to the Holy Spirit. They are actively working against God, who wants us to turn from sin, to repent of our sinful ways.

The @ELCA and @lomnetwork got a grant designed to equip and empower outdoor ministry organizations to more intentional welcome of people who historically have been marginalized in the church—especially POC, people with disabilities and #LGBTQ peoplehttps://t.co/YtjvKjLmJe

“We will explore the roots of those barriers, and explore what changes, little tweaks and major overhauls can be implemented to make our camps more fully welcoming, inclusive and safe.”

Know What Your ELCA Youth Director Teaches and Believes

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has left the truth of Scripture and you have to wonder what that means in the local church. Here is what one ELCA youth director says about evangelical churches and Christians.

Why are people surprised about evangelical churches being homophobic? I’m a Youth Director in an ELCA Church & often times the 1st thing I wonder when I meet a Christian is if they‘re homophobic.(If you’re looking for a safe place, check out an ELCA RIC Church. It’s good stuff)

ELCA Church Would Not Hire A Youth Director Who is 'Invested in Purity Culture'

2/1/2019

Teaching abstinence until marriage is Biblical, but it is something many ELCA leaders and churches do not believe in.

I was on a committee ~5 years ago to think of what we were looking for in our next Youth Director (ELCA congregation). We agreed that we could not possibly hire someone invested in purity culture. I love my church.

Would a camp whose mission was to encourage and pray with youth, who deal with same-sex attraction or transgenerism, to reject those impulses be welcome at ELCA headquarters?
