I just had to post this. Paul Erickson, a voting member who has been working closely with Word Alone and Solid Rock Lutherans, just spoke in favor of an amendment to change the Church Council to having a representative from each synod, which would essentially double the size of the Church Council. He stated, "The current council is like the caretakers in a cemetery, they have a lot of people under them, but they don't listen to any of them." He gave the example that well over two thirds of church members wanted no change in our sexuality standards but that was not reflected at all in the resolutions presented by the council to CWA. Great analogy, Paul!

Hang in there, Katie. These issues are probably more important than all the sexuallity stuff as far as it affects the average person in the pew. Much of the national coverage may have dropped off, but as a church, we are still wrestling for our lives and for our foundation. Keeping you all in prayer.
