ELCA and Gays

Well, the proposition to ordain gay clergy failed. The vote was almost 50-50 though, so it doesn't look like it's the end of the issue. :-(

The resolution on blessing same-sex couples also failed, but in a round-about way. The wording was changed to affirm current practice, and expresses "trust" in pastors ministering to gays and lesbians.

Why can't we just leave this whole stupid issue alone and go on to more important things? Like making sure they don't butcher the hymnal.
