Pro-Homosexuality Congregations Praised for their “Forward-Thinking” Ministry and Accepted Back into Membership
July 16th, 2012
“There’s been an acknowledgment that these two congregations were forward-thinking and committed to their ministry,” said Bishop Mark Holmerud to the San Francisco Chronicle at the time. “They took a stand, paid the consequences, and our church has finally seen the wisdom of our opening the rosters to all committed gay and lesbian couples. And we’re all the better for it.”
A line from a San Francisco paper reporting on how two ELCA congregations, which had been expelled from the ELCA, have now been received back into membership in the ELCA.

And the world rejoices…one small victory for the enemy…
Another example of people trying to be “of the world” instead of “not of it….”
If you read the comments in the Huffington Post, where this article comes from at link, thereis oneLCMS member making rebuttals to the liberal comments. I am thinking along the lines of one comment where it asks how the ELCA considers itself “Lutheran”.
Good question. Does ELCA pick and choose what of Luther’s works to follow along with parts of the Bible? Or just what do they believe? Confusing to me.
