This was the crack in the dike that has since become a flood - women priestesses, no fault divorce, liturgy as you like it, full acceptance of the queer life, etc. It is a shame, but it is also a fact.

And while not (yet) in the abyss of transgenderism or queer marriage, there is much of the secular (liberal) culture that Missouri Synod leaders and congregations have accomodated and absorbed that would not have been believed by those in the Missouri Synod a couple of generations ago. Also, such cultural accommodations would likely have been met with imprecations from Missouri Synod Lutherans less than a century ago.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.com
