LCC Restructuring Process
Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) is currently in the process of restructuring, following calls from all three districts meeting in convention in 2015. In accordance with votes taken during these conventions, LCC’s Commission on Constitutional Matters and Structure is hard at work developing a proposed new structure for consideration in advance of the 2017 National Convention.
What follows is a collection of reports and statements on the process that have been published so far.
