ELIM members, like all the other theolical dissidents throughout LCMS in the 70's were, in my experience, anything but "evangelical" or "in mission" unless they meant in mission to themselves. I attended the meeting at which the "evangelical" pastors in the Atlanta area (at Grace Lutheran) formed the Georgia chapter of ELIM. This group called themselves moderate in addition to evangelical. A couple of the pastors knew me and knew me to be conservative. Most were barely civil to me and at least two were outright hostile. Not much moderation there and they certainly were not in mission to me. This was a sad day, but at least the lines were finally drawn and we knew who was who in the Florida-Georgia District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. No, there was no moderation among the moderates from that day forward. Truthchaser ( talk) 20:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
