History and Work of the Commission on Inter-Church Relations - Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod

Abstract

How do we, as a church body, maintain the bond of fellowship with other churches? How do we extend the bond of fellowship to other church bodies? How do we formulate doctrinal statements in reaction to other church bodies? Since 1941 our synod’s Commission on Inter-Church Relations has been tasked with these duties. This commission has been integral in the functioning of our synod and Gawrisch concisely offers us its history.
