Did you know that there are currently three ELCA Social Statements in the process of being written? Did you know that YOUR input and feedback is needed in the process?
The following introduction is from this page on the ELCA website:
"Faithful participation in society is integral and vital to the mission of the ELCA. As individual members and as a corporate body this church lives out the Christian faith in encounter with the concerns that shape life in God’s creation. Social statements, messages, social policy resolutions and studies of social issues are important means by which this church carries out its participation in society.Currently, there are three processes underway: Criminal Justice, Genetics and Human Disabilities."
Click on the links to learn more about each statement/message and its process.
Check out this page for links to the ten existing social statements (on Abortion; Church and Society; Death Penalty; Economic Life; Education; Environment; Health and Healthcare; Peace; Race, Ethnicity and Culture; and Sexuality) and more information on why we have social statements in the first place.
