| From ELCA to a donut shoppe? What's wrong with that? |
"I think the ELCA has about 1/3 of its congregations on the edge of viability. I used to run down the yearbook (when we published one) and look at stats for synods and their congregations. An absolutely amazing number of congregations with fewer than 200 members or fewer than 100 worshipping regularly. Some of these will survive, but not many. And some will survive only as donut shops for the remaining members, not places reaching out with the Gospel or acts of mercy." ALPB Forum, ELCA Pastor/Editor

| Bless you, ELCA, for finding a better use for your buildings. |
