On November 10, a meeting of ELCA rostered leaders and laity will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church in West Columbia for further discussion of the direction that the ELCA took at the August Churchwide Assembly. The meeting may even generate a response of SC traditionalists. The meeting is an indication of the degree to which many members of the ELCA are angry and outraged at the Churchwide Assembly's actions. The lack of reliance on scripture and tradition in the Chuchwide Assembly's decision making has seriously impacted a significant number of people. Some plan to stay within the ELCA and continue to protest, some plan to stay within the ELCA with minimal participation in the life of the larger Church, and some have already resigned their membership. I will report on the results of tomorrow's meeting and try to keep everyone updated.
As promised, I am also providing information in another post on Lectio Divina for the use of those who wish to not only read scripture but to use scripture in their prayer life.
Blessings!
Pastor Garry
