ELCA loses their cross.

Seems a small tornado damaged the steeple of Central Lutheran Church (ELCA), across the street from the Convention Center where the ELCA Assembly was meeting. The winds knocked off the cross from the top of the church, while in the convention center the ELCA approved homosexual ordination with a vote of 66.6%.

A Prayer from a Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod) pastor that he prays every Sunday:

"O Lord, defend your church from enemies within and without;

give to your church faithful pastors and people who faithfully receive the gifts of your grace."

Sad Day for the Anglican Church

Two ordained priests in the Church of England have married each other in the England against their Bishop's direction. It will be an interesting time to see if Rowan Williams (the Archbishop of Canterbury) will enforce discipline in the Church of England. Williams is a great writer and I have enjoyed some of his

books. However, he seems to be a weak leader with no resolve on this issue. It may be time for him to go and for someone else to come in to help save unity and promote Biblical morality in the largest Protestant communion in the world. If Williams does nothing, the African churches are out for sure.
