Statement of Core Values

From the CLB Statement of Faith flows another one, a Statement of Core Values. In it we state our passions and our desires. As the Statement of Faith declares our core beliefs, our Statement of Core Values explains how we desire to live out our faith.

Statement on Sexuality

We, the Church of the Lutheran Brethren, affirm that standards of sexual morality must be consistent with Biblical principles. We deny that unscriptural standards may be accepted by the church simply because they have been accepted by society.

Missional Theology Study Committee Reading List

the Synodical Council in March 2009 responded to a preliminary report from the Study Committee on Missional Theology (SCMT) with the following motion:

In light of the fact that the Study Committee on Missional Theology (SCMT) will not complete its work until the 2010 Convention, the Synodical Council advises our pastors and congregations to carefully process missional theology as we await the report from the SCMT.

 The SCMT is working with an extensive list of materials, out of which we also were requested to make a shorter list available to our churches for the purpose of equipping churches with a basis for understanding missional theology and for carefully processing this theology and examining the implications of its teachings for faith and life. The intent of this list is not to offer endorsement for any of these works, but rather to offer suggestions for primary texts that have formed a foundation for the missional church conversation, and also some other works by which the reader might critique these works.
