Yes, the Lutherans step up to the plate yet again. I’ve been very happy to see how the ELCA has progressed on gay/lesbian issues from a religious standpoint. This statement further cements their esteem. History will remember this well.

I don’t have all the church-based stmts on the top of my head, but this one from ELCA seems like the most strongly worded so far. Other recent news from Uganda seems to indicate that the pressure from the world community is beginning to sink in at the highest levels of govt. It will be next to impossible to have every party feel as though they have won, but the prospect for a humane outcome are increasing.
