We're the ones that just elected our first woman bishop. Avoid Missouri Synod, they don't even allow woman pastors. Supposed to keep silent and all that happy horsesh*t.
Other liberal leaning denominations are United Church of Christ, Episcopalian, and Presbyterian (USA). Presbyterian Church of America is kinda like the Missouri Synod of the Presbyterians.
