A western Ohio pastor has been chosen as bishop of the newly formed North American Lutheran Church.
About 800 members elected the Rev. John Bradosky of Centerville as bishop during a meeting in suburban Columbus this week. The church says the 59-year-old Bradosky was installed yesterday during a closing worship service.
The church was formed last year by churches that left the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America after America's largest Lutheran denomination decided to allow non-celibate gays into its clergy.
