ELCA Church Council Proposes Review Process for Social Statements
11-053-JB

CHICAGO (ELCA) -- The Church Council of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America (ELCA) asked the 2011 ELCA Churchwide Assembly to
authorize it to establish a review process "of current procedures for the
development and adoption of ELCA social statements." The proposal
requests that the process be established after the assembly considers the
recommended social statement, "Genetics, Faith and Responsibility."
