Most ELCA Lutherans favor gay rights
The survey question: "Homosexuals should have all the rights and privileges as other Americans." Pastors' support is at 90%, lay people around 60%.
Thus, the study seems to disagree with an observation made in my text study group last week--to wit: "All those with a liberal bent have either left the church or become pastors."
The study was conducted by Jim Burkee and Jeff Walz at Concordia University Wisconsin, a college of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS). (Disclosure: I participated in the survey.) The survey disclosed what everyone knows: The ELCA is "center-left," while the LCMS is "right-right."
