LCMS Methobapticostals triumph; fellowship declared with the AALC

Well, they've gone and done it.

The LCMS Convention in Houston has approved pulpit and altar fellowship with the American Association of Lutheran Churches, a body which tolerates open communion, synergism, and enthusiasm.

The only reason C.F.W. Walther isn't rolling over in his grave is because he's in heaven, presumably shielded from such devastating news of the triumph of heterodoxy in the Missouri Synod.

The question is, what do we confessional Lutherans do now? Do we stay and fight (again), or do we finally leave? And where to? There doesn't seem to be a Lutheran group that isn't fighting this same kind of thing. I would just like to finally go to church and be happy...for a change. I used to be a member of an ELCA church that left and joined the AFLC. Subsequently, that church lost its Lutheran identity completely. I joined an LCMS church about seven years ago, and now this. I'm just tired of fighting for what we're supposed to be in the first place (and what the Synod still says it is on paper).
