    Trying to Understand the Disaffliation Stuff

    Being a member of the ELCA, it has been confusing to me since the congregations of the ELCA have the right to choose whatever they want, even though, in general, the overall ELCA is very liberal. Of course, some congregations have left the ELCA and, of course, there some still affiliated that...

    Trying to Understand the Disaffliation Stuff

    That's what I THOUGHT because the Methodist congregation I attend is very awesome and welcoming and I've heard they have no plans to leave. I don't know about the others in the city. I know that one of them is very much more-so conservative. Another isn't that conservative, but they were sure...

    Trying to Understand the Disaffliation Stuff

    I'm an associate member of a UMC. I'm trying to understand the disaffiliation stuff. Are the people that are leaving the UMC the ones that want it to stay conservative and the ones that are staying the ones that are liberal (LGBTQIA+ friendly) or is it the other way around? I've not been...

    Eucharistic Miracles

    So, Lutherans believe in the real presence, which is saying that Jesus is present, but it doesn't mean the bread and wine are truly Jesus's body and blood, but they aren't just symbolic, either. Who says that God COULDN'T make them into the body and blood of Jesus if that is needed for people...

    Asking for Prayers

    I am asking for prayers, good vibes, good thoughts, good juju, etc. My operation to remove this malfunctioning pacemaker (it's a leadless Medtronic Micra AV and is inside my heart, so I had to find a doctor who does the special operation - and it took MONTHS) is scheduled on Tuesday morning...

    Question about surrogacy

    After I'm feeling better, I'm thinking of writing a story, but need to do research . . . Wonder what a liberal UMC or a liberal ELCA congregation think of an unwed woman being a surrogate mother for a male gay couple. I don't know if I could realistically set it in Louisiana, or not...

    Catholic Question From Lutheran Belief

    The RCC claims Jesus founded it, but of course, Jesus did not found it just like He did not found any of the protestant denominations. The disciples started meeting and the movement was known as The Way. The RCC just claims that Peter was the first Pope and thus they claim it was founded by...

    Christmas-Easter Lutherans

    This happens in ALL Christian denominations. These people are often called C-E Christians or C&E Christians. It's not supposed to be a title or honor, though. Of course, we still love them and are glad they come. Haven't you ever realized that congregations are much fuller on those two...

    PretzelMonger passed away on September 28, 2020

    Thank you. She was only 36 and would have been 37 this November. I didn't even get to celebrate her 36th birthday with her as I didn't have money to go visit her as I didn't have a job. I was looking for one as I was living off of an annuity and She was in a group home in Baker...

    Hurricane Laura

    The "Friends Don't Let Friends Eat Each Other" comes from the EARLY days of Christian Forums. They had "ErwinBot," which was a ChatBot and it was good at answering the basic programmed questions and could "learn" some. It was fun to play with it. Erwin was (is?) the guy that came up with and...

    Hurricane Laura

    Update: I wrote this in general to post on sites, so some stuff is repeated. Hey all. So, when they called for the mandatory evacuation from Lake Charles, I picked up a few things and got out. I didn't take time to pack up tons of things. I didn't want to get stuck at home or in traffic...
