The SD Synod vs. The Social Statement

13th June

I’ve received many questions about the vote at the South Dakota Synod Assembly regarding a resolution that was passed to Reconsider and Remove the Social Statement, “Human Sexuality:  Gift & Trust.” Rather than try to summarize everything, I’ll be as thorough as I can with it and walk through everything. I’ll post the resolution, my notes from the live blog, my impressions of the discussion and my thoughts on why it went the way it did.

*I know this is a bit long. As I said above, I see no other way to present this fairly or accurately. All resolutions and historic votes are from the ELCA SD Synod website.

Nothing New

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes...
