Correction: ELCA Bishops Urged Against 'Fatal' Sexuality Report

In a March 3rd article on Lutheran Scholars rejecting a sexuality report, the Christian Post inaccurately reported that the scholars urged denominational leaders to modify the report. The scholars did not ask to modify the report, but to reject the report’s recommendations. The report is a historical document that cannot be modified. The scholars’ statement was also directed to the whole church – not exclusively to the ELCA bishops. Not all of the 17 theologians who signed the statement are associated with the 12 campuses, and the task force took nearly three years – not four – in drafting the report. Christian Post apologizes for any inconveniences caused by the inaccuracies.
