I want to shout. And cry. And say Amen. And hug somebody. And be hugged by somebody. And whisper thank you. My emotions are not only because of my personal beliefs about what the ELCA has done. But they're equally because (to further quote the article linked in the post): "Jesus is between the red and the green microphones, between the red and the blue states offering us life and salvation in the words of eternal life and in the sacrament of his own body and blood. Jesus right there between the liberals and conservatives speaking the word that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Jesus standing there saying forgive as you have been forgiven."
