Study Guides

Christian ethical decision-making

These guides are an initiative of the Office of the Bishop and the Commission on Social and Bioethical Questions of the Lutheran Church of Australia and New Zealand. They are intended to help church members consider how they might respond to contemporary ethical issues. They are not ‘official’ statements of the church on the topics, but are meant for use in personal reflection. More guides are being produced. and are uploaded to the CSBQ webpage.
