GJ - Watch the LCMS, WELS, ELS, and the micro-synods condemn ELCA this summer for its Left-wing apostasy. Not once will their publications say, "Why are we working with them through Thrivent?"
ELCA is consistent. The synod has a gay advocacy campaign and a fund-raising effort for HIV/AIDS.
At Trinity Seminary, ELCA, in Columbus, the school bookstore sold homosexual textbooks just above the books on death and dying. Strangely, they did not sell Lenski commentaries, even though the professor taught there.
