Resoltuions to the 2005 ELCA ChurchWide Assembly

[SemStudent08]

196 Resolutions from the various Synod Assemblies were memorialized to the ChurchWide Assembly for a vote. They range from ELCA engagement in the Holy Land, the adoption of Renewing Worship materials, changes to the ELCA Constitution, to CCM and the Recommendations concerning the ordination of practicing homosexuals. 196...fully half of these resolutions are concerning the Sexuality study...HALF!! Anyway, if you want to read some of them, they are available in .pdf format at the link below:

Oh! And this topic is not really meant to become a debate on any of the resolutions. If you want to do that, take it up with your Pastor, Synod Office, or Synod Rep. to the Churchwide Assembly. I posted this entirely as a means of helping people find the resolutions themselves.

Well, they will be voting on most of the resolutions en bloc. Good thing, otherwise, in August 2006, we'd still waiting for the results!
