"You cannot serve God and mammon."

As synod in convention has already declared that the ELCA can no longer be considered a Lutheran denomination, participation with Thriven't itself has become problematic at the least; the Handbook's prohibition against "unionism ... heterodox missionary & tract" activities" comes quickly to mind.

As President Harrison strives for more transparency in synodical finances, I encourage him & the BoD/CoP to include this no-longer-Lutheran financial corporation in mind as well.
