Thanks to reader, Pastor Ray from Recovery Church of Fargo, for the link to a news story about the 2nd Fargo ELCA congregation to change course and reinstate funding to the ELCA. The story in Fargo’s Forum said that last September Pontoppidan Lutheran withheld funding by placing the ELCA pledged funds in escrow. Pontoppidan members voted this week to release the escrowed funds and also reinstate ongoing financial support of the ELCA.
Earlier posts here and here discussed similar funding restoration by Hope Lutheran, the largest Fargo ELCA congregation, and also by St. Luke’s of Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
