The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, in ever-increasing fashion, is spouting its liberal political beliefs. Let me show examples from this summer:
- Here we have the ELCA and Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton addressing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. (see here)
- Here we have the ELCA and Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton addressing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. (see here)
Lutherans stand firmly against policies that cause the separation of families. #WithDreamers #DACA https://t.co/uHg3E35PUy

- A few weeks ago came this ELCA news release titled “ELCA on Gender Identity Discrimination.” (see here) Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton is quoted saying,
"Transgender individuals should not be denied the opportunity to participate in our armed forces. We should honor the courage and sacrifice of all members of our military regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation and join those who serve in upholding the respect and dignity of each person."
- Last month Bishop Eaton was tweeting her displeasure with new immigration policies (see below).
I am still trying to understand an immigration policy that only allows English speaking PhDs in. None of my grandparents would be accepted

We are blue collar, white collar, physicians, musicians, artists, parents, citizens, clergy. We are America. Why choke hope of immigrants ?

- In June, the ELCA’s magazine Living Lutheran wrote about Bishop Eaton addressing the topic of anti-Muslim behavior. (see here)
Some people applaud the ELCA’s political activism and their liberal views, I do not.
Seeing how the ELCA pushes their leftist political positions, it is time Republicans, Libertarians, Conservatives and Blue Dog Democrats stop feeding this Democratic advocacy organization that is wrapped in a faux Christian veneer.
