What is Lutheran COREs relationship to the ELCA?
With our consciences captive to the Word of God, Lutheran CORE must oppose the decisions of the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly. Lutheran CORE has renounced its recognition by the ELCA as an Independent Lutheran Organization that officially relates to the ELCA. We invite faithful Lutheran congregations and individuals to direct funding away from the national church body because of the 2009 churchwide assembly decisions. We will continue to pray for ELCA members, leaders and churches and support directly ELCA ministries that conform with God’s Word.
