When Called to Common Mission, the full-communion agreement between the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and The Episcopal Church, was passed, its proponents proclaimed how advantageous it would be to the mission of both churches. But since then membership in both churches has dropped, the ELCA has spent thousands of dollars on burdensome ritual requirements and the agreement has proven itself a costly diversion from the true task of mission. It's time to move to set aside this failed mission strategy.
A resolution you can use is found at:

Submit it to your congregation council and your conference meeting. See that it is brought to your synod assembly. Even if it does not pass this year, you will have created an opportunity to discuss it and get people thinking about it.
We all need to consider how important it is to evaluate ELCA mission strategies and to dump those that are ineffective. It's up to you to take action!
