ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

An ELCA Bishop with a Drive-by Fuller DMin?
How Long Can They Survive?
Pastor emeritus Nathan Bickel has left a new comment on your post "James Hazelwood elected bishop of ELCA New England...":
Ichabod -
Sometimes I wonder how long it will take ELCA to implode. - 26 schools and hierarchy headquarters, plus regional bureaucracies? Is their membership pumping that much into this corrupt system? Or, are rabid feminists and homosexual activists' monies keeping ELCA vibrant and thriving to aid in the infection destruction of America's spiritual and patriotic future?
At any rate, ELCA is a shining example of what Scripture highlights: ".....having a form of godliness, but denying the power, thereof......" - 2 Timothy 3:5
