Had I tumbled to the fact that Planned Parenthood was on the list, I would have been in the process of moving my funds from Thrivent as quickly as possible thereafter. I have been concerned before with the direction Thrivent had been moving, an indication to me that the ELCA had been exerting more and more influence upon Thrivents leadership. Perhaps it is time to go the other way and have LCMS create its' own financial group, separate of outside influences as it once was.

My wife and I are heavily (for us) invested in Thrivent. I pray they begin to find their way again and start paying attention to what inroads the progressive left is making into religious thought and function.
