Values Show Clearly in Actions

The Lutheran Church in Great Britain offers "Resources for Congregations" on the Lutheran Church in Great Britain's website. The resources include:

- The latest guidance from the Charity Commission
- How to prevent fraud in your congregation
- Information on CRB reports
- Rules and Regulations of the LCiGB
- Guidelines for planning an event which primarily focus on finances
- Finance resources for congregational treasurers

Finances, Rules, Guidelines and Regulations are apparently the values of the leaders of the LCiGB or, more accurately, the values of the Dean, Treasurer and Chair.

Not one congregational resource offered for:

- Bible study
- Christian Education
- Worship
- Prayer
- Spiritual Growth
- Lutheran Confessions
- Evangelism
- Social Justice

Why? Because the LCiGB is a "small church" unable to provide such resources? If there are limited resources why spend all the time, energy and money ONLY on finance, rules and regulations?
