Thought so. We ELCA folks would never do something like this. They are a very "closed" church with no tolerance for viewpoints other than their own. Very socially conservative (quite the opposite of the ELCA), anti-gay, no women pastors.
And what they really can't tolerate is other Lutherans! Went into the LCMS website once where I learned that we don't believe in the Bible and are "not Christian."
