Here is something for your readers to chew upon: Benke's appearance at Yankee Stadium after 9/11 demonstrates syncretism in action. Harrison's words on the HHS matter demonstrate no such similar syncretism, but show instead his testimony to truth.

GJ - Paul McCain, Harrison's campaign manager, shows amazing patience with Benke's errors, considering Paul's constant ministry of condemnation, all over the Net.
I would be impressed with Harrison's testimony before Congress if his testimony before Lutherans were, "No more ELCA." [Notice the deft use of the subjunctive, contrary-to-fact.]
Ditto, SP Schroeder and Pope John the Malefactor.
The latest "conservative" Lutheran hymnals are loaded with ELCA copyright materials, but I fail to see how the ELCA content contributes in any way.
Can anyone sing ELCA's "This Is the Feast" without severe and lasting psychic pain? I would rather hear rap, and I hate rap.

Pr. Greg,
I think the point is the hypocrisy. Seems like this point you are making is being missed.
LC-MS ministers constantly bag ELCA (see McCain on how he bags them), yet officially in the upper level, their synods are in cahoots, with LC-MS receiving Thrivent money etc.
It is like someone receiving money from abortionists while he criticises abortionists themselves.
In short, the moral high ground is really and simply - just grandstanding.
I suspect that is what Lutherans got with SP Harrison.
