Lutheran CORE Connection update

A correction has been posted to the May 2008 CORE Connection article,"Unauthorized ordination held in Minneapolis." The last paragraph, which erroneously reported that the recently irregularly ordained Jen Rude is in a committed same-sex relationship, has been changed to note that, "On April 27, Grace Lutheran Church in Houston, Texas, voted to call Lura N. Groen, a candidate not approved by the ELCA. An unauthorized ordination is scheduled for July."

Lutheran CORE also draws our attention to the following:

• Carl Braaten's critique of the ELCA draft social statement on human sexuality (which I just posted here) is posted here on the CORE website.
  
  
• Robert Benne's response to the ELCA draft social statement on the First Things' blog (previously posted here on this blog), "A Sexual Ethic for Teletubbies, or Lutherans Embrace a Formless World."
  
  
• Additional resources and links pertaining to the draft social statement on human sexuality will be posted at here on the CORE website as they are received.
