‘Monogamous’ Gays Can Serve in ELCA
Largest Lutheran Denomination in U.S. Split on Divisive Issue

From the Washington Post articlehere is an interesting quote;

“We live today with an understanding of homosexuality that did not exist in Jesus’ time and culture,” Tim Mumm, a lay delegate from Wisconsin and supporter of Lutherans Concerned, an gay-rights organization, said during the debate. “We are responding to something that the writers of Scripture could not have understood.”

Does this then mean that for at least the part of the ELCA Sola Scriptura has been dropped?
