RELATIONSHIPS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN PROGRAMS
BEING A LUTHERAN IS AN ASSET
WE ARE “REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH”
OUTREACH IS FUNDAMENTAL

From the Bishop

Bishop RognessLiving Lutheran?

Wouldn’t it be enough to be “living Christian?”

“Living Lutheran” is a website the ELCA has established to spread news about what happens in this world under the very broad umbrella of the Lutheran church. The website contains inspiring stories that make us proud to be part of this church. And for the next three years, our gatherings—conferences and synod assemblies—will go more deeply into that phrase.

We live in a time when pollsters and analysts tell us that people who think about church at all are less and less inclined to think only of one denomination. More
