   No kidding. I was interested in the food, not the theology, but Immanuel   
   Lutheran is ECLA. First Lutheran, about a mile away, is Missouri Synod. I   
   think the Missouri folks consider the ELCA folks to be baby-raping,   
   communistic, apostates. Both the pastor and assistant pastor at Immanuel   
   are women and that's a non-starter for LCMS.
