ALC joins homosexual debate in religious stance
The American Lutheran Church drafts a middle ground statement declaring homosexual behavior a sin while backing civil justice. The draft, circulated to 4,600 congregations, frames dialogue within a broad ecumenical and civic context, noting differences in interpretation among traditions. It rejects forced change but supports civil rights in other areas and opposes legalized gay marriage.
