ELCA Council recommends "exceptions"

Moses and the Didache set before the faithful two ways...the way of life and the way of death.

The ELCA Church Council set before the faithful two ways...and invited them to walk on either or both.

All right, maybe that's unfair, maybe that is flippant, but it seems to be the best way to summarize the situation before the CW Assembly.

Basically, the Church Council is forwarding the recommendations of the Task Force on Sexuality to the CW Assembly. This is what I have been able to discern after a quick reading.

The only good news here is that Council is recommending that a 2/3 majority be required for Recommendation Three, because it would require adopting new bylaws.
