Lutherans
For Life believes that the Church is compelled by God’s Word to
speak and act on behalf of those who are vulnerable and defenseless.
The crisis of our times is the repudiation of Biblical truth
manifested in the wanton destruction of innocent human life through
legalized abortion-on-demand and the growing threat to the lives of
others through legalized assisted suicide and euthanasia. Therefore,
as Lutherans For Life, we will strive to give witness, from a
Biblical perspective, to the Church and society on these and other
related issues such as chastity, post abortion healing, and family
living.
Committed to an understanding of Lutheran tradition as evangelical and catholic, the ALPB affirms the Church's scriptural and confessional foundations in order to foster renewal within the Lutheran bodies of North America, Lutheran churches abroad, and the wider ecumenical community.
