If your political agenda repeatedly puts you in various scenarios that involve overthrowing electoral outcomes, there might be a problem with your political agenda.

BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024. n.pr/3THqnJM

What makes a church home? Tell us about your experience finding your congregation! Over the next weeks, we’ll be asking you about how you engage within and beyond your congregation. This week we want to know: How did you know you belonged at your church? #ELCAQuestionOfTheWeek

As we grieve another mass shooting, our prayers must be accompanied by action.

Gracious God, the news of the shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas has ripped our hearts and torn our souls. O God, our rock and our refuge you are our only comfort. You are our only hope. You know the depth of our suffering. We have only begun to mourn those we've lost.

Why are we killing each other? Why are we killing our children? Our country’s fabric is torn. Dear church now more than ever we must be a witness to the unity we have in Christ and the indisputable reality that we are members one of another.

On June 17, we commemorate the martyrdom of the Emanuel 9. On June 17, 2015, nine people were shot and killed during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC. We ought to mark this day of penitence with study and prayer.

Each of us is a beloved child of God, perfectly and wonderfully made, just as we are. Thanks to @ReconcilingWrks for this Lutheran introduction to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. reconcilingworks.org/resourc…

There is nothing in the Lutheran theological tradition that forbids vaccination. Science and religion come from the same source - God. Getting vaccinated serves the neighbor. I and all my family are vaccinated not just for ourselves but for the community.

No human institution decides who is human, who is visible, who is valued. Human sexuality and gender identity are a beautiful mystery. Trans people, like all people, are beloved by God.

Remember that Jesus is with us in all of our suffering. The lives lost to gun violence and the suffering caused by the pandemic - Christ has journeyed this path and continues to journey with us.
As we approach #HolyWeek, @ELCABishopEaton reminds us that Jesus is present in all of our suffering. The lives lost to gun violence and the suffering caused by the pandemic - Christ has journeyed this path and continues to journey with us. youtu.be/ON2MW3i7HhM

I have no idea what to say anymore. Two mass shootings in 7 days. I’m numb. How long, O Lord, until we no longer suffer from gun violence, until we stop killing ourselves? Dear God, inscribe our hearts with justice and guide us in your way of peace.

Senator Sanders says of his inauguration photo/meme that he’s glad it “makes people aware that we make good mittens in Vermont... we have some good coats as well.” – at Washington, DC

The President has not been silenced. He has a press room right in his house. He’s more than welcome to step up to the podium, speak and even take some questions. He is not a victim
