Lutheran scholars oppose tolerance of gay clergy stance
Seventeen scholars from twelve campuses issue a statement against ELCA proposals to refrain from disciplining clergy in same sex relationships while maintaining current policy. They warn the measure would fracture church unity and distort doctrinal teaching, urging the August assembly to reject perceived shifts. Endorsers include Jean Bethke Elshtain and James Nestingen, among others, while noting ties to the Episcopal Church.
