The ELCA social statement, "Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust" (2009) is being updated, and input and response from church members is requested. We've invited a few folks to study this document and make a brief presentation to begin our conversation.
As a Reconciling in Christ congregation, we have an important perspective on how the Church shapes its welcome and inclusion of all people, including rostered leaders. Please join us to learn more and lend your voice to the conversation.
The document and background on the process can be found here
