ELCA Lutherans have a creative sort of church governence. Members of different churches gather in the spring in synod assemblies. The gathering is partially like a family reunion with friends meeting again after a time apart renewing old frienfships. It's partway a time for renewal & revival, and this year considerable time's is being spent on a discussion about complex social issues.
There's no shortage of secondary topics at these gatherings. This year's no different. We have a great deal of time dedicated to a secondary topic, notably human sexuality. The real issue in our time for the church, sharing Jesus Christ in Word & Sacrament with 2 missing generations, is easily lost.
