Thank you, President Harrison and director Karner, for your rapid response to this misguided action. As a holder of 8 contracts with Thrivent, I cannot be complicit in an activity that is so obviously against the values that we, as Lutherans, hold. Should Thrivent not cease and desist from this action, I would support the establishment of another fraternal organization. In any case, all my support and investments will be withdrawn should the executive leadership of Thrivent fail to act appropriately. In Christ, Rev. Wally Shifflett
