Established by The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in 1962, the Commission on Theology and Church Relations provides theological guidance to Synod leaders, congregations, church workers, and laypeople. The CTCR produces reports, statements, opinions, and study documents on matters in the church and in society.
The LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations adopted a report on “Women and Military Service: A Lutheran Perspective” to address the issue of women serving in the military, particularly in combat roles.
To help individuals and congregations commemorate the Reformation, the LCMS Commission on Theology and Church Relations (CTCR) developed prepared Bible studies on the doctrine of justification.
CTCR offers clarification on Luther’s ‘two kingdoms’ doctrine.
