A church convention has urged Lutherans to study the booklet, while also passing a statement affirming that "sexual intercourse outside the context of marriage union is morally wrong...
...greatest drawback to the new plan is that it will leave untouched the Resolution on Rights and Responsibilities, a shoddy and vague document which forbids any consideration of the context of political actions and gives its enforcers wide latitude in interpreting which of them will be punishable.
