ELCA Sexuality Study Deadline Nov. 1!!!

If you are planning to participate in the third part of the ELCA Sexuality Study, time is running out! Click on the title for the link.

I am having a hard time bringing myself to do it because of the way I thought Galatians was abused during the Churchwide Assembly, but I am going to try. Our input does have an effect, even if it doesn't as much as we wish it did.

After having invested a lot of work personally and a lot of energy within my congregation in the previous rounds (1992-1993, and Journey Together Faithfully I) only to learn that most comments were unread and simply thrown on a pile, let the tallest stack "win"....Nada, zip.

What will be will be and what will be is revisionism.

I hear you. I feel guilty not doing it because I have such great respect for the folks I have met in the reform movements. A member of the last task force said that the recommendations for 2005 would have been much worse without the input from the masses. I am leaving the ELCA within the next six months most likely, but I hate not helping those who are hanging in there.

I am in agreement, though. I think the end is determined already. The atmosphere at CWA 2007 was that this is going to happen, let's just do it properly.
