Excerpt
No longer wishing to be marginalized by the national Lutheran churches, and deeply concerned about the ongoing formation of a new Lutheran church, 35 persons gathered in Chicago, May 10-12, and formed a coalition of "edge-of-the-church" ministries. Called the Working Group On Justice Agendas and the New Lutheran church, it represents the broadest based coalition of such Lutheran ministries that has ever been formed.
The Rev. Dr. Albert "Pete" Pero proclaimed the event to be '' A union which will make the new church take justice seriously.'' Pero, a member of the Transcultural Task Force, Association of Black Lutherans (LCA) and Professor of Systematic Theology at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago said; ''working together will not only create a unified agenda, but could help identify the strong but diverse voices for justice already in the church.''
