When I got to know some clergy in the ELCA when I was still there, I was shocked at how little faith they had. My first grader has more faith. Anyway, I think it is the liberals in the seminaries that squelch faith and drive out the truly faithful, leaving only these wolves disguised as sheep for congregations to select from. These wolves work not to nurture the faith of the children of the congregation but to exhort them to make this world better as an end in itself and end up failing at both. They do not fear love or trust in God above all things. Seriously, call committees have their work cut out for them when folks like these who should never have been ordained are among those they must choose from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
