Statement of Purpose
We are a network of Lutheran clergy and laity within the ELCIC concerned about present trends and movements within our church, particularly around the issues of Scriptural authority and human sexuality. We are calling for a reaffirmation of Scriptural authority, a confessional faith, and transformational theology as we address the issues of our time.
We stand for, and with, the historic witness of the Bible, the Church and the Lutheran Confessions in all matters facing our church and society. We maintain a special vigilance around the issues of scriptural authority and human sexuality.
We welcome ALL persons to encounter the restorative and healing power of the Gospel, excluding no one on the basis of their brokenness. Through the community of the faithful we promote a ministry of forgiveness, healing and wholeness through Jesus Christ.
We challenge actions, programs, initiatives and attitudes within society and within the ELCIC which are in conflict with the historic witness of the Bible, the Lutheran Confessions, and with the full gospel of Grace in Jesus Christ.
