In addition to the election for vice president, the assembly will act on:
- a proposal for full communion between the ELCA and the United
Methodist Church, adopted by the UMC General Conference in 2008 - a proposed social statement, "Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust,"
requested by the 2001 ELCA Churchwide Assembly - a "Report and Recommendation on Ministry Policies" requested by
the 2007 ELCA Churchwide Assembly - a fundraising proposal for a churchwide HIV and AIDS strategy
- a proposal for further development of a "Lutheran Malaria
Initiative" (LMI) with Lutheran World Relief, the Lutheran Church-
Missouri Synod, and the United Nations Foundation (UNF).

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.

Of course, each denomination is the new, improved Tide detergent.
Trinity Seminary is also the extension education site for the Episcopal Church in the United States (ECUSA), so the bookstore might be selling pro-homosexual clergy books for their students, too:

Nothing says Ichabod like a tornado, an "Act of God", clipping the top off the ninety year-old steeple, the rest of the steeple got bent, on Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis and scattering the outdoor dining set-up like a tainted food offering.
Despite the overt clue - "Someone" thought they needed to "get a clue" - the majority at the 2009 ELCA conference "stiffened their necks", "made their foreheads like flint", "hardened their hearts" and got back to their own agenda of glorifying the flesh in an abominable way in God's name.
I am a Lutheran and have been a lay member of ELCA (and predecessors) churches for over 50 years. Things have been gradually moving in the wrong direction for some time now, but with this latest action it is time for us to draw a line in the sand and take a stand against this. I agree with the prior comment about the omenous tornado which came without warning. No one seems concerned about what is happening.
