Put on your Thinking Cap

Abstract: Journal of Lutheran Ethics prints responses to draft social statement on human sexuality; one of our readers offers a response as well.

If you're drawing a blank on how to respond to the ELCA's Draft Social Statement on Human Sexuality, you might want to have a look at the July, 2008 issue of the Journal of Lutheran Ethics where a number of responses to the draft statement are collected. Included are:
Paul R. Hinlicky, Appreciation and Critique of the ELCA's Draft Social Statement on Human Sexuality;
Christian Scharen, Context Versus Principles: Still A Misplaced Debate;
Eric H. Crump, Response to Draft Social Statement on Human Sexuality;
Carl E. Braaten, A Critique of the “Draft Social Statement on Human Sexuality” Prepared by the Task Force for ELCA Studies on Sexuality, Church in Society;
Laurie Jungliing, Practicing What We Preach in Lutheran Sexual Ethics
If you read all that and are still struggling with writer's block, we also offer “Unfortunate Lutheran Statements about Sex” a response submitted directly to us by Pr. Jim DeLange.
Don't forget to send the ELCA your response, and remember: plagiarism is a sin.
