Ted Oplinger Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Just a question to clarify, Stan... Are we talking of an actual split, or simply the forming of yet another synod within the Lutheran church? My wife attends an ELCA synod church, but I've a nephew that attends a Missouri synod church, which is quite a bit more conservative than ELCA... To my understanding, the Lutheran church has 3 synods I'm fully aware of (ELCA, Missouri, and Wisconsin). Would this be another on top of this? "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J. Waggoner, The Glad Tidings "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway" - John Wayne "The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated" - Ronald Reagan
