Lutheran groups push back on Elon Musk's allegation tax dollars were used for 'illegal' activity

3. Lutheran Services has been a joint project of two different Lutheran denominations.

The ELCA is more liberal and the LCMS, in which I grew up, is very conservative. The ELCA is a bigger denomination and may be the major player, but the current Lutheran Services website still has some LCMS people on their Leadership page.

When this story erupted, there was immediate pushback and outrage from the ELCA. Their bishop recorded a message that went up on their website and social media and there were hundreds of comments from ELCA members reacting to this.

The LCMS? Crickets. Nothing on their website, nothing on Facebook. Numerous business as usual posts on Facebook and today I’m finally seeing in the comments of unrelated posts some questions about what the LCMS response is. Hard to tell if any of those questions are coming from actual LCMS members. I’m disappointed, but not terribly surprised.
