Last Aug the ELCA Churchwide Assembly in Mlps voted to allow the ordination of homosexuals who are in a life long committed relationship. This action was opposed by many people and as a result there has been a lot of discussion and actions taken in response to it by many individuals and congregations. My friend Rev Norm Olsen (Ret) of Starbuck has a e-mail list that contains news about such actions and other happenings with regards to the actions of the CWA. this blog will contain some of those e-mail from him and others. Word Alone was started as an org in opposition to Called to Common Mission the full communion agreement between the ELCA church and Episcopal church and it has spawned several spin off org such as Lutheran Churches Called to Missions (LCMC) which is where many former ELCA churches and members have landed.
