Religion News Service offers an interesting article entitled "Parishes leaving ELCA find an unexpected price to pay."
The article notes the difficulties faced by mission congregations, especially those composed of immigrants from Africa. These congregations are steadfastly opposed to the ELCA's new teaching and practice on same-sex sexual relationships. But the ELCA expects them to repay all mission support received if they leave the ELCA.
The article opens with a pastor from Sioux Falls formerly supported by the ELCA.
