Scott writes (re my correction of Pastor McCain's assessment of activity at the Orlando Assembly):
Cool. You know this how?
I respond:
Because I was there. Up front. Close. Talking to people with various points of view as things were going on. But I see no reason to try and explain this to an LC-MS pastor (not Scott) who writes so intemperately and has already adjudged the ELCA and some of us in it as beyond the pale of any kind of orthodoxy.
With the funeral of a congregational founder coming up, and some other assignments, some of them quite pleasant, I shall probably not be active here for a while. And then I go to Chicago, and will not be doing any "instant analysis." I'm sure that the anti-ELCAers of various types will take plenty of opportunities to let everyone know how far the church body is straying from "orthodoxy."
