Aberdeen American News reports on Holy Cross decision to leave ELCA

Check out this story from the Aberdeen American News about Holy Cross congregation's decision to leave the ELCA.

Here's how the story begins:

Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Aberdeen has begun the process of breaking away from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The members of Holy Cross are not angry, said the Rev. William Nelson-Loefke, the church's pastor. But they are not pleased with the way the ELCA is interpreting Scripture, and they feel that the governing body is using sources other than the Bible to formulate church policy.
