ECLA allows gay clergy men...

In a historic moment the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ECLA) has voted to allow gay clergy into the church. The issue of homosexuality has been a major divide in the mainline protestant churches for a while now; the Anglican church split due this very same issue. Expect other mainline groups (Most notably the United Methodists) to follow the same path. This is easily the most decisive thing that has hit American churches since the issue of slavery which caused many churches to split into separate groups. Expect the same here. As much as I hate to see such horrific divisions, I think its almost a necessary evil at this point in protecting gays and promoting progressive theology into the mainstream.
