I am very disappointed with LCMS.

At first, I was shocked that President Harrison would align himself with Catholics and other male church leaders in testifying before Congress. I always prided myself that my church did not get involved in politics like so many other churches. We started to see this be less true with the election of Jerry Kieschnick. (I celebrated when President Harrison was selected.) Now, where are we going as a church body?

If LCMS and President Harrison celebrates this decision - the decision that my boss has the right to get between me and my doctor - I will not be able to take communion any more at any LCMS congregation (since I would be guilty of the body and blood of Jesus Christ by partaking of this sacrament with people who believe differently).

If the LCMS maintains that birth control is against the Word--something that I certainly was never taught in those years in Catechism--then the current LCMS is not the church that I can honestly associate with.

The LCMS needs to make a statement. I truly need to know where we are going as a church body.
