ELS General Pastoral Conference
On October 5-7, about 120 pastors gathered for the annual General Pastoral Conference, this time held at Meyer Hall on the Bethany Lutheran College campus. Worship/liturgy matters were a major part of the discussions. In accord with a resolution from the 2010 Synod Convention, the conference decided to ask the synod’s presidium to appoint a special committee to study the recommendation in our ELS bylaws pertaining to a set form of worship. This ad hoc committee is expected to report to the 2011 GPC. We are pleased to note that the discussions this year were very fraternal and beneficial.
