The mission of
First Evangelical Lutheran Church shall be to put Christ first in all things.
Dear Friends:
An
important and very welcome feature of church life in the North American Lutheran
Church (NALC) is
congregational ratification of major decisions. This gives congregations a
strong voice in the decisions of
our church body. It also gives us the responsibility to give or withhold our
approval (ratification) of these
major decisions in an informed manner. “Major decisions” include: A.
Constitutional Amendments; B.
Teaching Statements; C. Partnership agreements with other church bodies.
In
August, the NALC’s 2012 Annual Convocation adopted a resolution that the NALC
apply to become a full member church
body of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF). This is one of those major
decisions requiring congregational ratification
before it moves forward. Therefore, the application for LWF membership
will not be submitted unless and until the
congregations give their approval to it. Our congregation will hold its
vote on the matter at our annual meeting
on January 27, 2013.
The
Lutheran World Federation is “a global communion of Christian churches in the
Lutheran tradition. Founded in 1947
in
Christians.” It has an extensive and highly informative website, which
you can find at www.lutheranworld.org.
There are
many links on the home page, each one providing a wealth of information on
the LWF’s mission and activities.
I
highly encourage all of our members to become as informed as possible, as we
consider this important
decision for our church body!
Sincerely in
Christ,
Pastor Carl L.M. Rasmussen
