Your Turn / Re: ELCA Opposes Repeal of Roe v. Wade?

I might even be the case that the unceasing barrage of politically divisive rhetoric from Bishop Eaton is an indication that Higgins Road feels the battle is over. Having weathered the storm, now is the time to drive out the remainder of the un-woke from the ELCA. Sure, that will mean less "mission support", but with so many congregational closures, there will be plenty of revenue to fund political advocacy. That's the churches real mission anyway. Too many conservative congregations just slow the ELCA down. The ELCA's better off without them.
I comment;
Even allowing for sarcasm or whimsy, Pastor Charlton, I find this post not typical of your usual more thoughtful criticism. And it is unlike you to attribute the most crass motives to our top leadership. If you were to look back over all of her statements and columns as presiding Bishop, I do not think you would find that kind of person you described here.
P.s. to Pastor Bohler:
Nowhere did Brian say he ever sought or went after those ELCA members. They came. He and his congregation fed them.
And NONE of the LCMS participants here have said they would be going after ELCA members. In fact, all of them that responded about the matter said they would not actively do so. Yet you still brayed about sheep-stealing and rustling.
