Reconciliation Works: Lutherans for Full Participation
(formerly Lutherans Concerned of North America and Reconciling in Christ) will
hold a conference in Washington DC July 6-10. The conference will address sexual orientation
in the clergy and recognizing same-sex relationships.
The link for the group is here.
The group sent a press release by email. The text reads that the group adopted its new
name “to better reflect their ongoing ministry with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) people, their families and congregations throughout the
denomination.
“The first-ever presentation by a presiding bishop of the
4.2 million member ELCA Lutheran denomination follows a 2009 ELCA assembly
decision to drop the prohibition against partnered gay and lesbian ministers.
The Evangelical Luther Church in Canada in 2011 also voted to permit marriage
or blessing of same-gender couples.”
