If you wonder why I left the ELCA....
This site will give you a hint.
There is, of course, nothing Lutheran or even Christian about this... community. But wanna bet the ELCA will take disciplinary action against them?
A rosary at a "Lutheran" church is bad enough. But a "goddess rosary?"
tk, thanks- I think- for the heads-up over at Bunny's place on this abomination .

The congregation bought it. Or rather, they chose to act as if they had; I don't think they could possibly have been as naive as they pretended to be. And by now, they surely know better.
'Cat, this stuff was pretty much mainstream as far as the seminary I attended, and especially in the synod this "congregation" is in, there is no way the ELCA would find this unacceptable. It's of a kind with what they teach their prospective pastors. The feminist theologians listed at the top of the page all had their books on sale at the Wartburg bookstore, many as required reading for classes.
I have long believed that the ELCA gets away with what it does chiefly because so many laypeople cannot bring themselves to believe that they are really as extreme and as downright nutty as they are.
