SOCIAL AND BIOETHICAL QUESTIONS

Lutherans for Life

Lutherans for Life (LFL) is a group within the Lutheran Church of Australia joined together by a common desire to promote the sanctity of God’s gift of human life. We are a working group of the Commission on Social and Bioethical Questions, which in turn reports to the College of Bishops.

LFL promotes respect and protection for human life. We foster communal responsibility for the defence of God's gift of human life, especially those whose lives some people might consider unwanted, lacking quality, worthless or dispensable. We seek to educate Lutherans in Australia and New Zealand and equip them with resources that enable them to defend the dignity of every human life, from conception until natural death.

Our logo

God's gift of human life is shown in the central figure, which symbolises a mother with unborn child. The human embryo and the human cell (zygote) are living and developing members of the human family.

The heart shape within the logo represents the love, care and protection that every human life – no matter what age – needs.

The circular theme symbolises the importance of family and community, and also that life is part of eternity.

The circle is enveloped by the protective shadow of the cross of Christ, which points to the saving act of God, through which people become members of his spiritual family. It is as we live under the cross that we learn about the sanctity of all human life, created and redeemed by God.
