LCA?

I was in a Lutheran Church this week, and I was talking with one of the choir members. Since we are in New Jersey, I asked, "Is this an LCA Church?" And he said, "No, we're Missouri Synod. Do you know what that means?" I said, "Missouri Synod is the conservative branch." And he answered, "But don't worry, we're probably the most liberal Missouri Synod church on the East Coast. We believe in the ordination of women, and I'd be willing to bet, within forty years, we'll look at the whole discussion of [full inclusion and ordination] of homosexuals with the same amazement as we look at the way we used to treat blacks." I said, "You're probably right..." And he said, "Besides, there's hardly anything said against homosexuality in the Bible."
