    Do ELCA Lutherans believe in Jesus as the only way

    That is the way it is in the ELCA church were I attend (or I should say attended) presents it. I am changing and this is one of the reasons. I have been told to be more inclusive and more "progressive" in my thinking. That all roads (beliefs) lead to heaven. I was being too "intolerant" to...

    the ELCA's left leaning advocacy

    the ELCA's left leaning advocacy
