Churchwide Assembly has started on Navy Pier in Chicago and already there’s controversy.Â? A list of 80 openly GLBT pastors has been distributed.Â? Said pastors/candidates put their names out in the open in protest against the rule that GLBT clergy must remain chaste and I do believe said rule is going to be HOTLY debated at the Assembly.

Pray for us in the ELCA that we can come to an agreement on something instead of this endless loop of dialogue that is making everything worse.
