http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38922103

The series contains one copy of "Social Policy Documents of the Lutheran Churches" (1944-1975), 1975. The compilation covers all social statements approved by the Lutheran Council in the USA (LCUSA) and its cooperating members. Statements dated prior to the LCUSA's establishment in 1967 were made by the LCUSA's participating bodies and their predecessors. The period covers the entire life span of The American Lutheran Church (TALC) and the Lutheran Church in America (LCA). Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) statements are also included. LCUSA social statements and all congressional testimony are included through June 1975. The term "social statements" refers to positions on social concerns which served a normative function in the church bodies or in the LCUSA.
