Being a pastor is a call from God, and the whole church has been enriched by the ministry of women who are pastors. Let us sing and dance as we continue to celebrate the gifts, service and diversity that women have brought to our church and our world as pastors.

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry and ELCA synod bishops from Minnesota share a joint pastoral message condemning recent immigration activity. They acknowledge the uncertainty many are feeling, in Minnesota and throughout God’s kingdom, while reminding us that even in lament, we hold fast to Christ’s promises and the assurance that we are not alone. We will not grow weary. | Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
