CHICAGO (ELCA) -- For nearly 10 years members of Abiding Peace
Lutheran Church in North Kansas City, Mo., have been worshiping under
public censure and admonition, placed on the congregation for hiring a
pastor in a committed same-sex relationship. Today the public censure has
been lifted, and members of Abiding Peace have been welcomed back to the
fold.
