Abstract

Abstract: Social statements are social teaching and policy documents in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Created by task forces composed of ELCA members and supported by ELCA churchwide staff members, social statements are developed through a series of participatory steps. Contributors in this work share their feedback on the "Draft Social Statement on Women and Justice" with the task force as part of the process to create a proposed social statement for an assembly vote.
