Lutheran World Relief is a decades old extremely efficient and well respected charitable organization. It is supported by the ELCA, the LCMS, and other Lutheran sub-sects.
It is so well known by Lutherans that it probably did not occur to the minister to be specific. Did you clearly ask for specifics about that question?
Of course Lutheran ministers are paid. They are professionals and are expected to live up to professional standards. This is not compensation for dedication to the Lord, it is pay for the actual work for ministering to the congregation because that is ALL they do. Over the last couple of decades the cases of overstressed Lutheran ministers has increased to the point that a system of counseling and relief has been set up for them. This is similarly reflected in other Mainline Protestant churches.
Jesus died poor? I don't remember reading that anywhere, but he was supported by *charitable contributions.* Something like Lutheran Ministers are.
I would certainly rather hear a professional sermon about Christ's faith in his father and faith in humanity than a rambling discourse that results in nothing more that another round of indoctrination.
The ELCA has transparent finances and is more likely to root out any existing corruption on it's own than react in defense to outside reports. Although I have never heard of financial irregularities in the ELCA, I have read many stories of Pastors... read more ing defrocked or disciplined in the ELCA's own publication *The Lutheran.*
I have never met a Lutheran who ever publicly or privately hid or obscured any activities of the ELCA.
