for those of you not familiar with the lutheran church in its many weirdo varieties, the elca is the "mainstream" lutheran church. (there are also the missouri synod and the wisconsin synod, aka six miles to right of attila the hun and six miles farther right than that. as well as many smaller sects.)
i've been waiting for them to do this for twenty years, so i'm not in line to give them a cookie. but i am happy they've done this.
