    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.

    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.

      @@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.

    • @billmartin3561
      @billmartin3561 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

    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!

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).

    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.

      ​@@mavinswapp9663D& C 98:8-10. Harris/ Walz is who everyone with a heart and charity should be voting for, not a,man who curses, spews hate and lies and speaks about another man's penis in front of little children.

    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!

      Have you seen the way the Baptists, and preachers like Greg Locke and Steve Anderson talk at their pulpits. It's all political and disgusting!

      I've never heard of ELCA before 30 seconds ago. What makes you say they aren't Christian? They don't believe in Jesus?

      @@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.
