The comfort dogs are a part of the ministry of Lutheran Church Charities, an arm of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), which calls homosexuality a “profoundly unnatural” orientation, and “recognizes homophile behavior as intrinsically sinful.” Hard to imagine that language framed with a rainbow filter.
