Think of these sects getting kicked out in a Lutheran Sense. Imagine they are churches in the elca. But they start developing far more strict views than the rest of the synod. That violated the Constitutions of the synod. The synod council can then terminate the congregations membership.
Now when it comes to marriage annulments that's only in the Church. Their legal marriage would not be changed. As for them Returning that's Christianity as a whole it's about forgiveness. The same as if the individual members of the clc or llc want to become elca again. Nobody would raise a fuss over that would they?
That doesn't really make sense as, being a part of a church that left the ELCA, we stayed the same and the ELCA literally came in and said what we have believed in for 100+ years is wrong in the modern world and we can either leave or they will seize and shut down the church. So, we left and kept the same green book and pastor and later the same seminary as well.
I can't think of any church that left the ELCA wanting to go back or that has gone back. |
