Just So You Know

This is from the Soulforce newsletter, you know, the folks who think it is unjust for the church to call homosexual expression immoral.

5. GOODSOIL UPDATE FROM OUR LUTHERAN FRIENDS
Our world is changing quickly. This "momentum for change" in our world means that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's (ELCA) Churchwide Assembly in Orlando, August 8-14, 2005 is one of the ELCA's last opportunities to lead the way in matters of justice for LGBT people.

GoodSoil.org is the official website of the collaboration among The Lutheran Alliance for Full Participation and Soulforce to resist the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's (ELCA) policy of coercive celibacy and eliminate the church's current policy and practice of discrimination against LBGT clergy, same-sex marriages and covenanted relationships. In August 2005 at the Churchwide Assembly in Orlando, the ELCA will have an important opportunity to act for justice and end its policy of discrimination.

It was rather humorous to me that my spellcheck wanted to replace Soulforce with sulfuric and Goodsoil with Godzilla. Of course, I can't talk; it always wants to replace one of my screen names with abrasive. Perhaps there is more truth in spellcheck than we want to admit.
