To Encourage and Promote  
Biblical Teaching of Creation 
WHEREAS, Christians are surrounded by teaching that contradicts 
the Scriptures concerning creation; and 
WHEREAS, Many of the most prominent defenders and 
institutions of the biblical doctrine of creation produce literature 
that has false teaching mixed into it; and 
WHEREAS, The Lutheran Church —Missouri Synod (LCMS) i s 
one of the largest denominations to uphold the Lord’s six -day 
creation of the universe (LCMS, A Brief Statement of the Doctrinal 
Position of the Missouri Synod [adopted 1932], Article 1); therefore 
be it 
Resolved, That we urge the Synod’s congregations, pastors, 
district leadership, and schools to  uphold and promote the biblical 
teaching of creation and to provide increased educational 
opportunities on the subject; and be it further 
Resolved, That Synod leadership and institutions (such as 
Concordia Publishing House and institutions of higher learning) be 
encouraged to make this a priority for the next triennium and in 
years to come.
