I try to figure things out for the future, because the denominational leaders are extinguishing their futures. My friend from high school said, "According to the statistics, Greg, there won't be any churches left in 50 years." He had a big laugh over the newspaper account I was mentioning. We were both in college at that time - different Lutheran colleges - and he eventually retired in Mexico.
I checked on the home church just now. The staff consists of three women, one of them listed as Pastor Sue.
Latest bulletin - "Reconciling in Christ - Wendy Hilton-Morrow updated the process and Welcoming Statement. Vote to recognize Salem Lutheran Church as a Reconciling In Christ Church approved by paper ballot 48-1."
The congregations will continue to play word games, just in time for the ELCA shindig in Phoenix at the end of July.
Denominational agendas are filtered in advance. That was proved by ALC-LCA merging into ELCA, WELS and Missouri copying ELCA as quickly as possible. Note that dozens of Bible "translations" harmonize so well with continued confusion.
Could you have imagined this 50-60 years ago?
