![]()
The 2001 Churchwide Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America mandated that this church engage in studies on human sexuality. The first emphasis was to be on questions about the blessing of same-gender unions and the rostering of persons in committed gay or lesbian relationships. The second effort was to lead to the development of a social statement on sexuality. These two closely intertwined efforts have been joined under the banner, "Journey Together Faithfully." This is both a call and a goal. Some are eager to do this work. Others are not. Many are apprehensive. However, the 2001 Churchwide Assembly has called upon every member to share in this journey and to pray that it will be a faithful expression of our unity given in Christ. |
