Like I always say: If you just remember that the Roman Catholic Church is the biggest liberal protestant denomination in America, it all makes sense. (And every day the Portland situation is allowed to continue, we another step down the same path.) http://www.stfrancisnyc.org/2018/06/united-in-love-pre-pride-mass/
ELCA radical grace open to all. Maybe this ELCA endorsement of him will lessen the lcms love for him and his teaching (nah…. see Forde, Gerhard). https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/religion/article/77337-fortress-brings-author-s-bestseller-back-to-print-following-scandal.html

"Pope Says No to Women Priests, Yes to Women in Curial Leadership" This is the same sacerdotal reasoning that makes it ok in the Missouri Synod for women to be on the CTCR, Board of Directors, Chairmen of congregations, read the lessons, distribute communion, authoritatively teach, etc….as long as they don’t go near the altar since they don’t have the indelible character of the special shaman. http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/pope-says-no-to-women-priests-yes-to-women-in-curial-leadership

"On June 12, the SBC announced that my resolution was declined in committee and would not be brought to the floor. Sixteen resolutions went to the floor, mostly with left-wing inflections. These included statements on the immigration crisis, gun violence, rights for women, diversity, racism, thanking the Rockefeller family, and celebrating the memory of Billy Graham. The same day, the judiciary committee of the California state Senate was moving to approve the California law banning any ex-gay counseling. The Southern Baptist Convention was deciding, it seemed, to give up on helping anyone in its churches leave homosexuality for heterosexuality. These people would choose not only indifference, but rather supportive dialogue with gay groups that seek to punish people for trying to make such changes."
