Church Votes To Break Ties With Lutheran Sect

http://www.yankton.net/stories/052705/news_20050527043.shtml

[Yankton Press & Dakotan] May 27, 2005--A large majority of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church members have voted to end their relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Concerns have been raised in the church about the direction of the ELCA, most notably a proposal that would allow homosexuals in committed relationships to be ordained and a proposal to bless same-sex unions.

There also have been concerns about an agreement between the ELCA and the Episcopal Church that allows the churches to share clergy.
