ELCA is in the same camp as TECUSA (and the ultra liberal Methodist 
and Presbyterian branches that I can never remember which is which).  When you
reject the founding documents of Christianity and can find only three words 
of Christ that are "authentic", then I don't see how the label "Christianity"
for their doctrines can apply - no matter how relaxed the standard.  Now the
folks in ELCA and TECUSA are probably properly baptized, and therefore
"christian" in that sense.  This is why orthodox protestants prefer a
subjective definition of "christian", so that folks in ELCA and TECUSA and the
rest can be excluded.  Of course, there is a lot to be said for the Catholic
view that they *are* "christian", but in rebellion.
