ELCA Churchwide adopts edited Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust

The ELCA Churchwide Assembly has voted to adopt the edited social statement “Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust.” In 2022, the Churchwide Assembly authorized two reconsiderations of the social statement. The 2025 assembly addressed Reconsideration #1: a review of specific text references that “would consider the import that marriage legally is now a covenant between individuals;” review specific wording “in light of public acceptance of marriage of same-gender and gender-non-conforming couples;” and “consider references to diversity of family configurations.”

Jesus asks us to consider: Are we building bigger barns—or a more just world?

This #LEANSunday, we remember:

  • Our harvests aren’t just for storing—they’re for sharing.
  • Our voices aren’t just for comfort—they’re for change.
  • Our faith doesn’t end at the altar—it walks into the world.

“Richness toward God” looks like housing justice, healthcare access, and a table big enough for all.
