I've written about the conference of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America being held in Minneapolis this week. A few of the issues to be voted on are gay related.
On Wednesday, a tornado came through Minneapolis, causing minor damage to the roof of the convention center where the Lutherans are meeting and also to the steeple of the Central Lutheran Church. Shortly afterward the assembly passed a statement with exactly the 2/3 required vote which said the denomination cannot agree on the issue of homosexuality and therefore churches will not be punished for blessing same-sex relationships.
Showing he doesn't understand Christianity at all Rev. John Piper of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in town declared the tornado to be a "gentle but firm warning" that God, who controls the wind, won't take kindly to a church that does nice things for gay people.
