Solid Rock Lutherans

Solid Rock Lutherans

Solid Rock Lutherans is a group of Lutheran clergy and laity within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) who oppose liberalizing that Church's position on the ordination of non-celibate gay and lesbian persons. Having stated that it achieved its goal in the recent ELCA Churchwide Assembly, held in August 2005, Solid Rock Lutherans ceased operations in November 2005.
