A Call for a Social Statement on Education
Response of the Board of the Division for Church in Society to
Action taken by the General Assembly, March 2002
The chair called on Stewart Herman and the Rev. John
Stumme for their report and the board.
To welcome the 2001 ELCA Churchwide Assembly action related to the
development of a social statement on education, direct the DCS
Department for Studies to begin the process for developing a social
statement on education in 2003 with the intention that a proposed
social statement be presented to the ELCA Churchwide Assembly in 2007,
request the DCS Department for Studies to bring a report to the
board's next meeting outlining the plans and the parameters for the
social statement, and communicate this motion along with the
background report to the Church Council as the Division for Church in
Society's response to Assembly Action CA01.06.40.
This document has been excerpted from the minutes of the Division
for Church in Society Board
Meeting, March 14-16, 2002. (Voted
