I am very saddened, but not surprised. I stopped supporting Thrivent after I saw their name as a donor of the student union at Valparaiso University, which is headed the same way as Thrivent is going right now - serve the world and money first, not Christ first. It is despicable to use the name of Christ to brand anything (fraternal organization or college) which does not carry with it true Biblical principles. By the way, right around the corner from the donor sign at Valparaiso University, and overlooking the cornerstone of the chapel, was a rack full of magazines which would never be seen in the entrance of any Lutheran church or school. I am currently at Concordia University and very happy to say that you never see any of that here, where Christ's name and message is well respected. Pull your money out of Thrivent (and Valparaiso) and put it where it will do the Lord's work (Concordia is a great place to support). That may be the only message these organizations understand. I got pregnant at 18 and DID not have an abortion without any regret. Good for you LCMS! The devil will tempt us all to believe the lies; in the end, when we see God face to face, all that counts are the words "Welcome home, my good and faithful servant"
