10 years ago: Evangelical Lutheran Church in American allows sexually active sodomites and lesbians to act as clergy

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:24-32

On August 21, 2009, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, as apostate a "Christian" denomination as there is, voted at their Churchwide Assembly in Minneapolis to lift the ban on sexually active sodomites and lesbians from serving as ministers. By the time of the 2011 Assembly it was reported that this decision had resulted in a net membership loss of 270,349 (5.95%) of baptized members, and a net loss of 340 congregations just in 2010. However, in keeping with Vox Day's second law of Social Justice Warriors--SJWs always double down--the ELCA continued on its apostate way. This was another link in the ELCA's long chain of apostasy, in which "evangelical" churches are increasingly participating.
