Like the traditional Episcopalians who recently broke away from ECUSA (Episcopal Church U.S.A.)to form the ACNA (Anglican Church in North America), traditional Lutherans are fed up with sodomy being sold as sanctity as well. They are exiting the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) in droves. Many are exploring the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC) founded in 2001, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), and the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, largest of the conservative branches with 2.4 million members.
