In reply to Mike.

I agree Mike. I was pleased with the very clear and concise statement by the LCMS concerning Thrivent and Planned Parenthood.

I was very disappointed in the murky, confusing, and wishy-washy statement the LCMS put out on homosexuals in the Boy Scouts. It was embarrassing that such intelligent leadership of the LCMS could string together so many politically correct words to say something that should have been very easy to write in a very clear and direct manner. It reminded me of a joke by Groucho Marx...."I am a man of principle, and if you don't like that one, I have others."
