Question for Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans etc?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I think in the ELCA they actually interview pastors about this and try to get a good fit. Although that doesn't prevent pastors in rural churches who,are way more liberal than their congregations obviously but typically its the congregation driving the liberal activism in the most liberal and almost always urban ELCA churches. The emergent ones are usually given total leeway, although they in practice are closer to simply being loosely affiliated with the ELCA than ELCA churches. Also they make up too small a percentage of all ELCA churches to really matter.
