"Reconciling Works" was until recently known as "Lutherans Concerned-North America" (LC-NA); irrespective of label it is the gaysbian pressure group advocating "full inclusion" of LGBTQ folk.

This address was presented last Saturday at Reconciling Works' national convention in the DC area.

Why do we as a church body take years to develop social statements on topics such as the economy, race, the environment, human sexuality, genetics and now criminal justice? Because those are the complex issues with which we contend almost every day of our lives. And we believe no one should have to make decisions alone about how to live responsibly in such a complex world. So we listen to Scripture, study our Confessions and theological tradition, and hear the insights of experts. We engage one another in conversation as we study drafts and re-drafts. We finally act in assembly and when approved, we have given this church a document that will inform but does not bind our own consciences.

Why did the ELCA take years for the sexuality statement? Easy answer. The backpedaling from Scripture wouldn't have been swallowed initially by ELCA convention delegates. Given enough time to percolate up through the ranks, abetted by ELCA "leadership," apostasy was finally readied for its debut in August 2009.
