The liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church of America denomination has voted in favor of giving their church properties back to the American Indians:
"Fifth, the overwhelmingly positive vote on the Land Back Memorial is another example of ELCA inconsistency and hypocrisy. The assembly fully supported a resolution which, among other things, called upon the ELCA to 'support creative programs of restorative justice in partnership with Indigenous people, including, but not limited to, whenever considering a transfer or sale of real property, including returning land (and any structures built on it) after satisfying any financial obligations, to the appropriate Native nations, and when direct return is not feasible or not desired by the Indigenous people, to return the proceeds from the sale of the land to the ELCA Native American Ministry Fund or other local Indigenous led ministries or organizations.'

I think this is a great idea. Let the woke, liberal, pro-abortion ELCA go right ahead and divest themselves of all their property and give it all back to the Indians. (Note: ELCA is not to be confused with more conservative denominations such as Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, Wisconsin Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Synod, etc. In Lutheran usage, the term "Evangelical" does not necessarily indicate conservative theology - it means "Not Roman Catholic" and nothing more than that).
More from this critical review of the latest ELCA churchwide assembly: "The prayer from a member of the prayer team during the vote on the human sexuality resolution was particularly strange. First, Bishop Eaton needed to be reminded of the importance of having a prayer even though voting had already begun. And the wording of the prayer was completely irrelevant. A member of the assembly prayer team read from her i-phone an invocation to Mother Earth and Father Sky, concern for all the creatures of the earth, and repentance for our not recycling enough. The only possibly relevant phrase was, 'Help us to dance together,' but even considering that phrase relevant is a stretch. The thinking seems to be that if we pray prior to a vote, then the outcome of the vote must be within the will of God."
