Guiding Principles
- Wellness of our home, the earth
- Wellness of the three primary expressions of the ELCA (churchwide, synodical, congregational) and of other expressions of the Body of Christ
- Wellness of one’s self
- Wellness of the whole human family
Emphases
- Loving God passionately – extravagantly giving of ourselves to God
- Articulating a Lutheran vision of God’s will and promise – confidently living and speaking a Lutheran way of seeing, a theology of the cross, of God in every situation, of God in paradox, of the fullness of God in Christ
- Caring for creation – radically changing our lifestyles
- Working for justice – courageously welcoming the stranger
- Embracing the gifts of intimacy and human sexuality – thoughtfully rejoicing in and bearing responsibility for these gifts
- Accompanying global and local partners – humbly receiving and honoring our Lutheran, ecumenical, and interfaith relationships
Marked with the cross of Christ forever, we are claimed, gathered and sent for the sake of the world.
