We are a small WELS country church. So far, though masks are required on Thurs. night and Sunday 8:00 service, many do not wear them. We are conservative, however liberals are permeating the church body as this is LaCrosse county. Our church council has been leaning liberal and I have expressed my opinion on the matter, to no avail, as my opinion as a peon does not matter to the church fathers. Our Pastor has to abide by the councils mandates, but he would just as soon put them in their place. Liberalism is slowly gaining a foothold. It is only a matter of time before a lesbian or gay couple wish to be married in our church and are turned down and then sue the synod, just a matter of time.
