A Response to "A People Sent"

National bishop, Raymond Schultz, has begun visits to each synod of the ELCIC for the purpose of providing a background to and the case for why the National Church Council once again is bringing forward a resolution related to same-sex blessings. A recent version of the presentation made by the bishop during his visits, a version entitled, "A People Sent - A message from the National Bishop on Mission", has been posted at the ELCIC's web site. Rev. Edward Skutshek, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, Kelowna, BC and president of Solid Ground, has written a letter to Bishop Schultz in response to the bishop's message. The letter concludes with an appeal to the National Bishop to "Please withdraw the resolution - we have too much to lose as a church!"
