ELCA, sex, tornadoes

It's been a while since I've done any suggested reading. I haven't really had access to much media from which to suggest. But I have been presented with these two interesting and related articles. They're probably already old news at the pace of our world, but if you haven't heard about the increasing liberalization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America check out this out:

Evangelical Lutheran Church backs away from Christian chastity.

This isn't even about the hot-button sex issue of homosexuality. The ELCA just told 4.6 million congregants they should go ahead and have sex before they're married... as long as they're living together.

The article mentions the tornado and John Piper's response to it. Don't miss his blog post about it:

The Tornado, the Lutherans, and Homosexuality.
