This report from the Commission on Theology and Church Relations of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod revisits and supplements the 1995 report Render unto Caesar . . . and unto God, providing theological guidance for Christians seeking to love and serve their neighbors amid the challenges of an increasingly secular society.

This report from the Commission on Theology and Church Relations of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod supplements the 1995 report Render unto Caesar . . . and unto God by examining the relationship between church, state, and Christian love of neighbor in a rapidly changing cultural context. Rooted in the Lutheran understanding of the Two Kingdoms, it distills the theological principles and practical guidance of the earlier report while addressing developments that have reshaped public life and the church’s place within it.

The report explores how Christians may faithfully engage civil society without allowing political concerns to overshadow the church’s primary mission of preaching the Gospel and administering the Sacraments. Through theological reflection and case studies on issues such as abortion, same-sex civil unions and marriage, religious liberty, women in the military, and immigration, it provides a framework for thoughtful Christian witness and service to neighbor in contemporary society.
