Thank-you for your courage, honesty, and generosity. My the DIVINE MYSTRY some call “GOD” continue to make ITS presence known to you! May the DIVINITY which lives in, with, through, and beyond you continue to delight, challenge, and embrace you. SHALOM...
Wow. I'm sorry that the ELCA's corner of the "organized Church" was so inhospitable to you (although persecution by the religious "establishment" and its adherents/defenders *does* have a certain historical precedent behind it) and wish you all the best as you discover the next path(s) in your journey of ministry and life.
Thank you for all that you offer and will continue to offer in this next chapter, in so many ways, Lenny. See you down the road. With gratitude and love, Amalia
I heard you preach this summer. You ABSOLUTELY can do the work. It's not you. Best of luck to you. Graduate school is exactly where you should be right now.

Nope.

The ELCA is lesser for your departure. I am reminded that the prophetic voice arises from outside the institution. May we continue to listen.
