The bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) were instructed by the Churchwide Assembly to implement the decision to recognize practicing homosexuals on the church's clergy roster. A major step to advance that directive was taken recently.
The article, from the ELCA's own news service refers to "ELM pastors"--these are practicing homosexuals who were ordained by an outside group called the "Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries." Many of these pastors are presently serving ELCA congregation even though they are without any official ELCA recognition.
