I wish someone was tracking people like me who were so offended by the actions of their pastor/council that they had no choice but to leave...was in fact told to leave because they could replace me with people who believed like them. So much for open and honest dialog. I will never belong to another Lutheran church after observing the ugly behaviors this has generated on both sides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2052460553642210195.post-18230216274715933582010-10-13T09:48:31.001-04:002010-10-13T09:48:31.001-04:00The actual vote at Trinity in Lake Norden, SD was ...The actual vote at Trinity in Lake Norden, SD was 74-0 (1st Vote).

The reason most don't give consideration to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, AFLC and the AALC is because none of these ordain women. However, there are some ELCA congregations choosing to join the LC-MS, the AALC and the AFLC. These are among the most conservative Lutheran bodies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2052460553642210195.post-64003078767193849832010-10-11T13:23:29.193-04:002010-10-11T13:23:29.193-04:00Pastor Barnhardt,
