Cap'n Bill here: Talk about border crossings!
A Toronto-area Lutheran church parish plans on ordaining a married gay man despite warnings it is breaking church teachings and it will face disciplinary action, including expulsion, if it goes ahead.
Lionel Ketola will be ordained Friday night by a non-traditional American Lutheran group that ordains gay candidates. Their ordinations are not officially recognized in Canada or the United States. But despite that, he will then be hired by Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Newmarket, Ont., as an associate pastor, where he has interned for the past two years. Members of Holy Cross will also take part in the ordination ceremony.
Guess the name of the "non-traditional American Lutheran group that ordains (sic) gay candidates..."

Gee whiz, Cap'n Bill. I guess it wasn't enough that we called it "ELM's ... Canadian invasion" last Friday, eh?
