      In case anyone wants to see the post. It’s not an organization that only liberal Lutherans supported either. LCMS (the larger conservative branch) supported this organization for years, too.

        I went to an LCMS church as a kid, it felt like one step down from Catholicism.

        For those who don’t know, there are two main branches of the Lutheran Church in the US.

        • Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (known as LCMS)

          • More Conservative views
          • Doctrine first mentality, believes Bible is without error
          • No Same Sex Marriage
          • No ordained women
          • Young Earth Creationism
          • Traditional Worship

        • Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (known as ELCA)

          • More Liberal views

          • Doesn’t believe scripture is 100% accurate , especially when it comes to history and science

          • Does allow for same sex marriage

          • Allows women and LGBT+ to be ordained

          • Does not fully endorse creationism

          • Contemporary Worship

        Also, I believe Tim Walz is a member of an ELCA church.
