One Church. All for it. So why limit this to an ELCA One Church? I've been a member of the American Baptist Church, the United Methodist Church, the ELCA and now Episcopalian. Following Jesus each step to a wider, more open theology. The plan proposed is still wrapped in an institution and I have zero faith in the current systems to build, or even reform, institutions. They are deeply racist, corrupt and out of step with Jesus. I'm a Christian who's stepped away from the institution on purpose.
