**Topic Suggestion/Request** :  
(should match post title)

Guiding Friends to Church

**Reasoning** :  
(why should this be covered)

Do I have any responsibility to friends, who choose to go to ELCA, to guide them towards a better church, or can I rely on felicitous indifference knowing that God gives faith even when the circumstances are not ideal? I do not want to get in the way, as these friends have not been to church in decades prior, and I am worried that trying to explain all of the problems with ELCA will overhwhelm them and push them away.
