Description: A six session study represents the initial attempt of the ELCA Task Force on Education to set forth a Lutheran vision of education and its meaning for our church and society. It is the first publication from the task force in the process of developing the social statement.
Notes: Our calling in education: A Lutheran study is the first publication in the development of a social statement on education, which will be considered at the 2007 Churchwide Assembly. The comprehensive study deals with education both in our church and our society. It offers a basis for members to reflect together on our calling to educate in the Christian faith and to work with others for good educational institutions and just educational policies in our society.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 79-82).
