Orthodox Lutherans in SC

The meeting of 'Orthodox Lutherans in SC' took place earlier today. Unlike other groups who have either taken steps to leave the ELCA, or who are protesting the actions of Churchwide Assembly, the SC group has chosen a different direction. This group wishes to stay within the SC Synod, and to seek ways by which the synod as a whole can take a stand within the tradition of the Church (a stand with which I agree). Unfortunately, the ELCA has already stated that synodical bishops and candidacy committees may not exercise their "bound conscience" in a direction that is different from the policies of the ELCA. While the SC orthodox Lutherans are anticipating a meeting after the first of the year to discuss legislative actions which allow synods the freedom to follow their "bound conscience," then, such an action will require another vote of a subsequent Churchwide Assembly to modify the policy changes made in August.
