Evangelical Lutheran Church on pro-ordination actions
The ELCA has approved providing a way for congregations that feel ready to ordain gays and lesbians in “life-long, monogamous, same gender relationships.” At the same time, the recently approved resolutions “also recognize that congregations who hold a traditional view of homosexuality and want to remain committed to the standards of this church that have existed up until now can and should have the right to teach and order their ministries accordingly.” Bishop Hanson explains this decision.
