Share your feedback through a new study and survey from the ELCA Task Force on Human Sexuality Reconsiderations.

In 2022 the ELCA Churchwide Assembly invited the whole church to reconsider the social statement Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust — specifically the section, often referred to as “bound conscience,” that allows for a diversity of views on same-sex relationships and marriage. The task force called to lead this work is happy to share a new study that leaders can use to foster conversation.

“Conscience and Conversation: A Study During the Reconsideration of the Social Statement Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust” offers activities, discussion questions and a survey link for participants to submit feedback to the task force by Sept. 30. This feedback will help inform the draft phase of the reconsideration process.

For more information on this process, visit ELCA.org/reconsiderations.

We as a synod staff have been very intentional about getting out to congregations on Sunday mornings. As I continue to make sure I get to every church on a Sunday morning, I also want to start being more intentional about joining your church council meetings in person or online.
