Wow, I am not even going to get into the debate. But I will say here in AZ it doesn't bother people, yeah, do we sometimes joke around about it, but it doesn't really bother us.
There have been some problems with the Traditional LCMS about five miles from the ELCA church that I attend. They are having some problems with their particular church, so each time we do Membership class, there are at least a dozen LCMSers in the class joining our ELCA church!
There is also a retreat that you get to go on once from the time you are 15-20 and then another one that you get to go on once from ages 21+. This is an LCMS and ELCA retreat combined. (TIROSH and Cursillo) We have same studies together, (I think) we take communion together, we pray together and we even have doctrinal discussions together.
I really dont feel like getting into this, but this is what I am seeing from the people here in AZ. I also have heard the opposite of the ELCA church downtown that is having problems going to an LCMS church not far away from it.
In Christ United We Stand!
