ReconcilingWorks calls upon all members to reach out to at least two people regarding the decisions made at the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly.
The first of the four "resolveds" of the policy recommendations considered by the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly (CWA09) was the most important: to "love the neighbor" and "bear one another's burdens." With little debate, the assembly voted to adopt this first resolved. Overwhelmingly, the church has agreed to stay in relationship, to live together faithfully amidst our disagreements, and to work for reconciliation.
