New President Now CLU-less
Here is a puzzler from the ELCA news blog - The president of California Lutheran University resigned after a whole year on the job. No explanation was given.
No News Is Bad News
Another enigma - Now that ELCA's bishop has almost his entire agenda in place, no news is posted at ELCA news archives. They put in links for the boring, daily trivia of the Chicago convention. Afterwards I expected some kind of chest-thumping from another triumphalist synod. But no.
My intuition - The "Do not discipline gay couples in the parsonage" resolution hit the congregations hard. One hint is that a number of ELCA clergy on the ALPB (liberal) chat website claimed no one asked about it at church on Sunday. I thought, "Whistling past the graveyard?" More likely the rage is so great that people took other routes to vent. Why not phone the bishop, the archbishop, or go straight to the top - Paul McCain?
The Chicago Sun-Times headlined the news as "Huge Victory for Gay Clergy."

More will happen after this, but the resolution is the turning point where ELCA members found out what a swindle their denomination is. WELS and LCMS leaders will continue to work with ELCA, but be even more secretive and deceptive about their plans.
According to one of the activist blogs, Archbishop Hanson (ELCA) has always been in favor of ordaining homosexuals and performing gay marriages in the church. He was coy about his agenda before. Now it is mostly in place. Herb Chilstrom had a similar platform during his sad, sick regime.
Watch for these news releases from WELS-LCMS-ELS:
1. Plenty of pseudo-sorrow over the degenerate ELCA convention.
2. Nothing about WELS-LCMS-ELS working with ELCA. Nothing. Not a word.
