I have previously written about St. John's Lutheran Church in the Roanoke area of Virginia and its move to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (" ELCA ") because of the national church's vote back in August to allow partnered gay clergy in monogamous relationships.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Minneapolis is bucking a trend among Minnesota’s Lutheran congregations — it decided to increase “benevolence” payments to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America because of an August vote to allow the rostering of gay and lesbian pastors in committed relationships.
The move bucks the trend of churches leaving the ELCA over the gay clergy issue. More than a dozen churches in Minnesota have either left the ELCA or have announced their intention to do... Read Full Story
