The depth of their rage, and the ethical lapses to which it pushes them, really does shock me. <br /><br />Here, they are throwing back to the days of Donatism and the Novatianist schism. You know: We not only insist on moral rigor as we define it, but we refuse to tolerate anyone who defines it differently.

Despite church councils and the arguments of heavy-hitters like Augustine, the Novatianists had their own parallel "church" for centuries.Father Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170260624474428623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773623136948763395.post-60759754740970401782009-11-04T14:00:40.409-06:002009-11-04T14:00:40.409-06:00If a pastor wants to leave the ELCA, the HONORABLE...If a pastor wants to leave the ELCA, the HONORABLE thing to do is to leave...and then let the congregation decide what they want to do.
