Thanks for watching! I encourage everyone to keep the discussion respectful - since mixing religion and politics can get heated. Whether you agree or disagree with the candidates and policies, I’d enjoy to hearing your civil thoughts. Next week, we'll take a look at the childhood church of Donald Trump. Guaranteed to be an interesting video. Stay tuned.
@@jamesgoodman391 That's a good question. There's a lot of variables to consider, though I also wonder if Gov. Walz or any candidate would rather attend a church who's gospel topics fits within their political leaning.
I’ve always liked your unbiased views of all churches. Seeing how respectfully you treated my faith made me want to keep learning from you about other churches. I’m glad to see that approach continues even as you turn to this *almost* political topic.
I hate election years and while I generally don't trust any politician this was probably the most wholesome thing I've experienced this season that could still be related to the national election so thanks!
I was until recently attending an ELCA church, but have changed my membership to a Missouri synod church because I was finding the ELCA denomination had become nauseatingly liberal.
church just shouldn't be that partisan. Now Im still ELCA and proudly so. Luckily my church doesn't tell us how to vote but rather to have faith in Christ.
@@celiamartin2907 The thing is though that there are also some pretty conservative ELCA politicians too. Joani Earnst is one, she's a big Trump supporter. Kim Reynolds was going to an ELCA church on Sundays when she signed those pro life laws and laws about trans people. It's a diverse denomination politically. According to a study, a majority of ELCA members voted Trump in 2020 too so its more nuanced way of reading the Bible does not exactly translate to political leftism.
By “more nuanced” way of reading the Bible, you mean ignoring Jesus talking about marriage between a man and a woman, Paul condemning homosexual acts, and thou shall not murder (= abortion is evil). If your church supports these, it is not Christ’s church and you need to leave.
@@billmartin3561 abortion is a sin but I have come to be convinced that the Bible is a bit more nuanced on sexual ethics. I think as Christians, we should be as biblical as possible so I do not have a strong view on what is not explicitly condemned. rape is definitely condemned, so is sex done in a way that is a commodity. The law is not exactly a list of things though but rather ethical principles we receive from understanding the Bibles stories and the consistencies since it is all Gods word.
Very interesting, especially enjoyed the background information about the branches of Lutheran religion. Seems like this congregation is doing a good job keeping families involved!
This was the most Minnesotan video you've made 😂 I found myself saying yes to everything you mentioned that you saw, and none of it surprised me. In other news, the temple here will open up next week! It would be awesome to plan a visit to the temple with you soon! Please reach out if you'd be interested 😃
I am LDS and worked as a hospice chaplain. Many of the more conventional, non progressive churches, have dwindling and have aging populations. It was not this way even 20 years ago. The recent split in the Methodist church has also been very difficult on the more conservative parishioners. Working for hospice, I have been told by many older mainstream Christians that they can’t agree with the NEW direction, some of their leadership is taking. Smaller congregations have led to the closure of many beautiful buildings, with original woodwork and stained glass. I’m glad to hear that this church has children in it. Fighting secularism and perpetuating a belief in Christ can only be done by teaching children about Jesus. One of my favorite patients was Lutheran. When I would play old classic hymns on my accordion, like “How Great Thou Art” and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” he would get emotional. We are losing a spectacular and spiritual generation and I feel blessed for having had the opportunity to so many of them.
Good episode, David. I, too, like a church filled with families and children. It makes me think that the parents are teaching their little ones to walk peaceably on the earth. Too bad the bird on the pole wasn't a cardinal. 😊❤ See you next week.
I know the song they were singing! It's a traditional African worship song Sia Hamba (sp?) - we sang it in choir many years ago and I had taught it to my sisters and the 3 parts so we used to sing it in harmony. And we can still sing it. It's a wonderful, beautiful song! First, you sing it in the African language (I can't remember which language it is) and then you sing it again in English. It says "We are marching in the light of God" and it repeats that line. It sounded like they were singing another verse we didn't though - "We are singing in the light of God" I think they were saying. That's awesome. Anyway, it was a nice surprise to hear it! We love that song! And this was a great video David, thank you!
I've not even gotten to the song in the video and I didn't even get to you mentioning the English . . . I already started singing, "We are marching in the light of God!" We sang that song at the 2000 ELCA National Youth Gathering! I sang it in other congregations, too.
I appreciate your unbiased and open review of this church! It seems like a tricky balance to strike when mingling with politics. I don't think anyone should want their politics to drive the religion and church, but vice versa.
The philosophies of men, mingled with scripture. Beautiful building though. It's always nice to see architecture that people put heart and thought into. And also nice to see a church with kids. Despite any extra noise or chaos, Jesus wanted them there.
This was another good video, thank you. Like you, I enjoy visiting other churches and traditions. With 52 per 52 weeks, your consistency and endurance wins. If I had a YT channel on the topic, it would be "12 churches in 12 months", similar to my rate of visiting other churches.
It's nice to see the church and see how they are working to include so many. I love to see all faiths worship God, even though we have some different beliefs. So glad to see you attending the churches of the candidates, what a great idea.
Super idea to check out the churches of the candidates 👏. And again very interesting, David. Thank you! I do not even know, if the German candidates go to church… 🇩🇪🙈
My great grandparents emigrated from Sweden to the US in the early 1900’s and settled in Akron Ohio which had a lot of Swedish immigrants at the time. They were Swedish Lutheran. My mom went to the church years later for family records and when they found out she was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints they refused to give her the records. 😂 Glad they were more welcoming to you in that particular congregation.
Seemed like a cool church. I think those of us from more conservative Christian churches have plenty we could learn from our more liberal brothers and sisters.
The architecture, stained glass and church itself is beautiful. You’re being much more kind than me. It’s interesting that anyone would think he’s a Christian conservative. They do have a significant amount of trafficking in Tanzania, especially albinos. It very cruel and tragic.
Very interesting. I like the idea of an area that is for families with young kids. I visited an interesting church building in Chandler, AZ. The chapel had a gentle slopped floor, like a stadium. While less chances of an obstructed view, if your little dropped a bottle it could roll down to the pulpit.
The ELCA is also very interesting politically being it is very purple. In 2020, 52% of ELCA members voted Trump according to a study while 46% voted Biden so it could be interesting if Walz makes a difference. on another note, This congregation comes off as quite progressive relative to other congregations in the ELCA which makes sense considering its in the city, my congregation would never change the Lords prayer, heck, I couldn't tell ya if we married gay people or not. I don't believe congregations should be allowed to change the Lords prayer.
I love your videos, and I appreciate your keeping this politically neutral. I just have one request. Kamala’s name is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable, not the second. Like “comma-la.” Again, thank you for your informative and thoughtful videos.
@@Sebman1113 the one congregation I was a member of did things the old Lutheran way which had lay readers & lay ministry (assisting minister of the pastor; an LCMS pastor actually confirmed to me this was an old practice that the LCMS once did decades ago) and the ELCA congregation i was a member of was more on the conservative theology side (with female pastor). When I moved out of my old area, I left the ELCA entirely as congregations within 20 miles of me were too woke & liberal. Originally left the LCMS was due to seminary requirements and the vetting process is tough for divorced men (innocent party divorcing guilty party) and I couldn't relocate out of state, I then jumped to the ELCA and I was actually trying to get into a college to get a bachelor's in Pre-Seminary and then off to m.div in my state's seminary for those part of the National & World council of churches (Luther Sem like he mentioned). Both educational ideas fell off due to the college not returning my call and ghosting me...since then, joined the LDS Church and after a year, reverted back to the LCMS.
I grew up Lutheran. I am now a very conservative Christian who has a relationship with Jesus not religion. My father was born in Minnesota. My church starts with worship singing. I don't understand a "call to worship". Sounds unusual. Where's Jesus? Isn't that sacrilegious praying that way?
I'm glad there using finds to help those in need, but the whole changing scripture thing, hmmmm, I don't think that will age well moving forward. The political divide is very real! Thank you for your content, I think is important information.
@@lb-jg6rwWalz lied about being a head coach, lied about carrying weapons into war, and even lied about how he seasons his taco meat. What makes you think he’s not lying about being a Christian?
That is one on my list - St. Aiden's Church in Brookline, MA. Would be a fascinating look into the first-Catholic President, especially with the concerns that the Pope would have a hand on the United States.
So, now that you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, do we get to set you up with singles in our wards? Come on over to Central South Dakota! 😆😁
This was really interesting. Thanks! 😊 1) I'm digging the shirt. Very nice. 2) The Book of Mormon itself is a representation of the first being last and the last being first. During Jesus Christ's mortal ministry, the gospel went 1st to the Jews and later to the gentiles. The Book of Mormon signaled a reversal of this. The gospel went first to the gentiles and finally to the Jews. 3) Please pronounce the Vice President's name correctly. It is so disrespectful to keep pronouncing it wrong. 😢 It is not (come a la) phonetically but (comma luh).
I don't think there was any disrespect meant for how he was pronouncing it, I don't think Oprah pronounced it better, but thanks Hermione for teaching us how to do the Wingardium Leviosa spell
@LilLithps I hope not. Some of the maga crowd purposely mispronounce Kamala's name. I don't like it when my name is misspelled or mispronounced. I think it's common curtesy and decency to make an effort in that regard.
Yelling out "Jesus is Lord" in a disrespectful and rude way doesn't seem like something the Savior would endorse. Missionary work done one on one with kindness and love is the way to declare "Jesus is Lord!" In that situation you have the Holy Ghost backing you up. ❤
Thanks for this. Pilgrim Lutheran seems similar to my own ELCA congregation. In our prayers we say "Our Creator, our Mother, our Father in heaven.." All biblical images. One note: Please learn to pronounce Kamala Harris's name correctly. It's KA-mala, not ka-MALA. You say it the way Donald Trump does and he does it to disrespect her. I hope that's not the case with you.
@@mavinswapp9663 Where on earth have you heard Harris pronounce it another way? She has been completely consistent on how to say it. That's how we know which one is correct.
Can admire the inclusion/focus of children in the service but not the “equality/equity” or the topic of how we are destroying the earth. Keep politics/social justice/change off the pulpit!
@@byusaranicole We definitely believe in Jesus. we say the creeds, confess our sins to the Lord, seek forgiveness, and receive grace. God loves us so much that he atoned for our sins on the cross and his Grace is all powerful. That is what we believe in the ELCA.
LDS here, who used to vote consistently Republican. That is until 2016, when Donald Trump took over the party. I could never in good conscience ever cast a vote for that man.
@@michaelbennett7561 That's cool. Your vote won't matter anyway, once Kamala imports four more years of illegals and refuses to prosecute anything they do. She'll also expand the Supreme Court so... let's be honest, your vote won't matter ever again.
@@mikespage0123 So a single issue is enough to get you to vote for Trump? I feel that Donald Trump is only adopting an antiabortion stance to get votes. I doubt he actually cares about the issue one way or another.

Tricky balance for sure. In the end, hope this will provide a neutral context to see what the church life looks like for who we're voting for.

I think there was a statement by Pope Francis that said if a church wasn't crying, it's dying.
I would never attend a church with a land acknowledgement. But to each their own
