Thank you for this considered response. I wrote Thrivent a somewhat more emotional one - as in "I REALLY can't believe you're doing this." Your response also presents a way forward, since we can't replace Thrivent overnight. I really am too old to take my insurance business somewhere else at this point, but my investments are definitely up for grabs.

I have volunteered with my local Thrivent Chapter since there was one, so I am term-limited out this year. I will definitely stay involved as long as I can try to change their position. Your guidance in this would be greatly appreciated.
