Iraq Study Resource Coming Soon
November - December 2008
Are you looking for a winter study series for your congregation or campus ministry? A five-week study guide,
Iraq: A Lutheran Study Guide on the Future Role of the U.S., will be available in December 2008.
The study guide seeks to facilitate moral deliberation on the U.S. role in Iraq and the broader Middle East as called for by Presiding Bishop Mark S. Hanson and the 2007 Churchwide Assembly. Questions explored in the guide include:
- How can our country aid the Iraqi government in improving security, reducing civil conflict and promoting reconciliation in Iraq?
- What should the role of the U.S. in Iraq be today, and in 10 years?
- What commitments do we have to Iraqis, American soldiers, and to all those affected by war?
- As people of faith how can we respond to the reality of terrorism and its challenge for Iraq, the U.S. and the world?
- What has our country learned about its role in an increasingly interconnected world in the 21st century?
