CHICAGO (ELCA) -- The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
today released Genetics, Faith and Responsibility, a proposed social
statement on genetics, the result of more than five years of study,
consultation and deliberation throughout the church. After review by the
ELCA Conference of Bishops in March and the ELCA Church Council in April,
the 2011 ELCA Churchwide Assembly is expected to consider the proposed
social statement when it meets in August in Orlando, Fla.
