Are you promoting patriarchy? *

What was the argument for "unification"? It might help to unpack and better grasp the "mistake".

Any worthwhile sources for verification and further reading on the history and the nature and merits of the proposal?

*"EELK accessing government funding, freemasons leading EELK’s real estate dealings, female ministers’ employment, and how EELK’s wealthy Tallinn class stands in stark contrast to the badly underfunded local parishes."

Many believe that when it came to the Estonians Church "overseas", to present "100 years of The Estonian Church", there was no such thing! In Estonia itself during war years of 1940-1972, churches were shuttered, people were prevented a religion and hence since more than 70 years of Communisms rule, there was no Lutheran Church in Estonia. But Canada, especially Toronto had a large 3500 person Estonian refugees congregation that was especially attractive. A deal was made, I suggest, and we were misled into a union which only benefitted one side! Tallinn never wanted it to work or flourish here. And now we find in Toronto, that a potential sale is being arranged by overseas church leaders for a unique and beautiful church which they never paid for nor purchased, but will pocket millions! Another plunder in Toronto. We were too trusting and naive!

"EELK has become so unattractive"?
Is EELK executing a deliberate strategy in Estonia and Toronto to reduce church goers, so that its leaders have fewer obstructions to accessing assets ?

I would recommend going to Ehatre, it was a very attractive week. Even Elvis allegedly sang. The church and the circus are and will remain two different institutions. Or for you, faith and religion is a circus ?
Then I suggest listening to Elvis.

A better translation for Luteriusu is Lutheran faith not Lutheran believing.
