We peruse its contents, since we are not unconcerned about what is being said (written) and done in “mainstream” Lutheranism. The contents of the magazine are indicative to us of&#8230;&#160;<a href="https://lutheranspokesman.org/2014/11/23/the-elca-and-bankrupt-lutheranism/" rel="bookmark"><span class="screen-reader-text">The ELCA and Bankrupt Lutheranism</span></a>]]></description>
