Issues in the ELCA

I thought readers might be interested in reading a recent essay by Robert Benne found at http://www.lutherancore.org/papers/benne-beginnings.shtml . Benne's essay describes some chronic, systemic, theological and organizational issues in the ELCA as clearly as anything I've seen. While as a member of the "Loyal Opposition" I have no plans to leave the ELCA or to lead my congregation in that direction, I do commend the essay to you for your reflection.

Within our synod, there is a meeting of the Orthodox Lutherans of South Carolina scheduled for January 9. It may present an opportunity for South Carolina Lutherans to share their disenchantment with the ELCA on the issues that Benne discusses.
