A Social Statement on Genetics

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is preparing a social statement that addresses issues in genetics and biotechnology which was authorized by the 2005 Churchwide Assembly. The 2011 Churchwide Assembly, it is anticipated, will consider the proposed social statement. This is the place to learn about its development and to find resources for thinking about the issues. Remain informed about the work of the task force by regular visits to this Web site.
