When we Shine, We Shine...

In response to the actions of the ELCA Church Wide Assembly in August of 2009, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod has produced a document both fair and eloquent in addressing the issues.  It makes me proud when a group of people with a diversity of views in Missouri and work together and speak so well.

You can read the ten page document (PDF format) by clicking on this LCMS Link.  I would urge you to read it and to think on the well reasoned and Scriptural response that was crafted here.  Clearly, if we can marshal the resources to speak with such clarity and conviction to our brothers and sisters in the ELCA, we have the ability to muster the theological resources to speak to some of the burning issues within our own church body...

Kudos to the authors and to President Kieschnick for making this statement possible...
