The ELCA News Archives have been as quiet as the library at Mequon, ever since the convention. That's surprising: ELCA normally puts out daily
the latest news on a host of topics.
ELCA pastors at ALPB Online were hoping no one noticed the vote to keep bishops from disciplining homosexual and lesbian couples in the parsonage. All the wire services noticed. LCMS SP Kieschnick noticed and frowned. No gratitude! ELCA communed Kieschnick and yet he posted an objection to the ELCA convention decision.
Correction. ELCA did post some news after the convention, but precious little. That could mark vacation time or everyone hiding under the desk to survive the incoming artillery barrage.

His wife has moved with him to Phoenix and has also enrolled at UOP, both in the master's program. He will be in counseling. The announcements did not mention the whereabouts of his boyfriend. In spite of his enormous salary before he resigned, Ted has sent out an appeal for funds from his followers.
