ELCA Welcomes Dialogue, Consultation with RCA, Reformed Church Partners
10-165-JB

CHICAGO (ELCA) -- The ELCA welcomes dialogue with the Reformed
Church in America (RCA) and a consultation involving church partners who
are part of the 1997 Formula of Agreement, a full-communion relationship
of the ELCA, RCA, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the United Church of
Christ, said the Rev. Donald J. McCoid, executive, ELCA Ecumenical and
Inter-Religious Relations.  Delegates to the 2010 RCA General Synod
requested the dialogue to discuss the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly
actions on human sexuality and the consultation to discuss matters
related to Scripture.
