LC/NA Responds,
Calls for Recognition of LGBT Families (http://www.goodsoil.org/)

Lutherans Concerned/North America (LC/NA)  (http://www.lcna.org) has both considerable agreement and substantial disagreement with the draft Social Statement on Sexuality (http://www.elca.org/What-We-Believe/Social-Issues/Social-Statements-in-Process/JTF-Human-Sexuality/Draft-Social-Statement.aspx), released for comment within the church by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) on March 13, 2008.

LC/NA affirms the Christian values lifted up in this draft statement: serving the neighbor, trust and commitment, family, right relationship, and public accountability, all combined in a sexual and communal ethic that seeks to build the common good and the reign of God.
