Well, just when one thinks things can't get any worse...
I heard on the news yesterday that LCMS is going to put the ordination and leadership involvement of homosexuals up to vote of the laity. My greatest fears of Ablaze have come true. LCMS is going the same direction ELCA went. It's a pity really, but there it is.

If that is in fact the case, without our LCMS brothers and sisters LCC is going to be very lonely indeed.
The Rev. Matthew C. Harrison, executive director for LCMS World Relief and Human Care, issued a statement in response to the ELCA task force documents.
"To say that we are disappointed in the task force proposals would be a vast understatement. But we are not surprised," he said. "The LCMS position on homosexuality is that of the Bible and the church catholic from the very beginning."
Harrison noted that there's a "great deal of interaction and partnership" between the LCMS and ELCA, but he said the task of maintaining that relationship was "becoming even more complex."
Perhaps the LCC would be willing to have a non-geopraphic district with congregations in the US, as the LCMS does in Canada, if such a thing were to ever occur.
Stude,
So tell us what happened? I just think WELS is too "smirky" - "we are the church" approach, no praying with other Christians, no support of military chaplaincy, hospital chaplaincy, etc., etc., etc.
Welcome to legalism Wisconsin style. Brats anyone?
I'd explore other avenues first.
Peace,
Cos
More WELS bashing around here...how nice. I guess it's what we get for being conservative, confessional Lutherans. I took that post very much to heart. It was hurtful.
