…manages to downplay the schism being caused by the ECLA’s decision that we covered here.
However stories like this are being repeated all over the country:
When First Lutheran Church of Washburn, which has about 600 members, took its final vote May 9, it was no squeaker. Eighty percent voted to sever the church’s affiliation with the ELCA, said the Rev. Erik Johnson.
First Lutheran has not yet decided which denomination it will join, he said. But it has talked with LCMC (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ) and also with CORE, a group of congregations formed in protest of the ELCA’s proposal for changing clergy standards, Johnson said.
Hey if the ECLA is looking for more priests? We Catholics have three we would love you to take off our hands.
Memeorandum thread here.

Just want to point out that the ELCA is not THE Lutheran Church. I am a member of the LCMS, which does not support women pastors, homosexual pastors, and a lot of other junk that the ELCA goes for. The LCMS has its own issues, of course, like every other denomination, but don’t paint all Lutherans with the ELCA brush.
Point made.
