I was in the LCA and one of its founding synods, the Augusta Lutheran Church all my life. I did not leave the church, the church left the foundational beliefs of the Lutheran Church. It has continued to compromise the faith to be more acceptable to the world instead of being a beacon of the faith to the world. I am gay. I do not believe gays in committed relationships should be allowed to be ordained and serve as pastors. Gays who will remain celibate could be ordained and serve as pastors as long as the congregation is aware of it. Of all the denominations I have checked out only the Catholic Church remains faithful to the faith of our fathers. There has been and is a problem with gay priest, but the biggest problem has been in a human failure in dealing appropriately with the problem. In time this will be corrected. But, in matters of the teachings of the true faith, only they have remained steadfast. That is why I am no longer a Lutheran and am working toward full communion in the Catholic Church.
