A Place to Stand

WordAlone is inviting all Lutheran churches to join the association by adopting a new document, “The Common Confession.” We have made a commitment to provide sound theological teaching through the proposed the Lutheran Theological House of Studies. No church, no matter where it finds itself geographically, need stand alone in matters of faith and life facing the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The WordAlone Network, by unanimous vote, has responded to the “call” to help “gather” the scattered that together we might be “enlightened” and “sanctified” by the Holy Spirit for a hopeful and faithful future. The four words, which I’ve quoted from Luther’s explanation of the third article of the Creed in the Small Catechism, were heard again and again throughout the convention.
