Our update this week includes many more congregations than were listed the last time. We are still waiting for the voting results for June 3 from several congregations. If you have any additions or corrections for this list, contact us at wordabide@aol.com.
Over 300 congregations have successfully voted to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) since August 2009. Listed below (by States) are those known to have begun the process with their first or second vote. A couple of congregations previously listed were dropped from the list because their second vote failed. Numerous congregations have scheduled special meetings to vote on leaving the ELCA in the coming weeks and months.
We offer here the most extensive list of ELCA congregations that have successfully taken their first and/or second votes to leave, but it is not complete by any means.
