What Does It Mean to be Lutheran

The United Lutheran Seminary Kindling Faith initiative, in collaboration with the Churchwide office of the ELCA, is presenting a series of webinars between now and election day in the fall. As our faith informs our day-to-day lives, Lutherans recognize that “faith is active in love [and] love calls for justice in relationships and structures of society” (ELCA, Social Statement on Church in Society, 1991). We also know the church is called to be a community that prays, deliberates, and acts together when it comes to complex social issues. In this election year, how might our Lutheran faith shape our thinking, acting, and voting on major issues? Join us to learn and ponder timely social teachings of the ELCA and to learn tips for leading discussions in your own community. Dates for the remaining webinars are
