@Gustodon @Paxil It’s worth remembering that #Evangelical used to mean something else. It still does in the #EvangelicalLutheranChurchInAmerica (#ELCA), which is the mainstream #Lutheran organization in the US. For them, evangelism just means sharing the Gospel with us ousiders—not that proselytizing can’t get annoying. They have female pastors and bishops and are pretty LGBTQ friendly. The Wisconsin and Missouri Synods? Not so much. There are many Christian organizations and individual congregations that use the term “Evangelical” in their name but are not right wing.
