	CTCR Web site offers information
	on religious orders, movements

	Information about religious organizations and movements -- both
Christian and non-Christian -- is now accessible on the LCMS Web site as
a service of the Commission on Theology and Church Relations.

	The site currently provides summaries of the history, basic
beliefs, and evaluations from a Lutheran perspective on beliefs such as
the occult, Wicca, Satanism, and New Age, plus organizations like the
Unification Church and the International Churches of Christ and Judaism.
More topics will be added to the Religious Organizations and Movements
(ROM) site as CTCR staff is able to prepare the information.

	Monitoring cults and religious movements became a responsibility
of the CTCR in 2001 when the former Commission on Organizations was
discontinued.

	To access the information, go to www.lcms.org
<http://www.lcms.org>  and select ?Theology and Church Relations
from
the pull-down ?Ministry Areas? menu on the left side of the screen.
