The Future of the ELCA
Episode Notes
Pastor Elizabeth Friedman returns to talk with us about the future of the ELCA and the Commission for a Renewed Lutheran Church (CRLC). Ben gets confused about years. The Columbus Churchwide Assembly was in 2022, not 2023.
TLDR: The ELCA is trying to reorganize the denomination structure through our constitutions (Churchwide, Synods, and Congregations) and other documents, with the hope that we can be better prepared for our ministry going forward.
