A new weblog internet site is being created and sponsored by the WordAlone Network, called "Faithful Transition." It can be found here. WordAlone remains committed to supporting individuals and congregations in faithfulness to Christ and would like to help our members and friends who are the process of making decisions about their future. This new website is meant to provide practical guidance to those interested in affiliating with LCMC (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ) and/or the proposed "Free-Standing Synod" of Lutheran CORE. The site is not intended to debate or limit any specific action, but to help our members and friends to make sound decisions based on individual circumstances. We hope to facilitate faithful and respectful action in this time transition, trusting that “the LORD will watch over your going out and your coming in, now and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:8)
