Lutheran Bishop Warns to Not Withhold Tithes in Protest

Bishop Mark Hanson, the presiding bishop over the nation’s largest Lutheran denomination, has called for members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America to not withhold donations to protest the recent acceptance of non-celibate gay and lesbian leaders into the clergy. Hanson fears a funding shortage would hurt the church’s mission. I think if the ELCA would preach the whole gospel instead of making exceptions to the inspired word of God, their members may not want to withhold their contributions.
