From the desk of Deacon Dr. Cecelia Travick-Jackson

Presiding Bishop and ELCA Secretary Announcement; 1 Year Anniversary of the LA Fires.

In light of the tragic Minneapolis ICE shooting that stirred national concern, Bishop Brenda Bos prays for comfort, courage, and justice for all affected. The prayer invites Christians to remain united in love, even amid deep pain and difference. 

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry reflects on the U.S. military action in Venezuela, grounding the church’s response in baptismal identity, prayer, and a call to justice, peace, humanitarian action, and accountability in the use of power.

Ante la acción militar de EE. UU. en Venezuela, la Iglesia reafirma su llamado bautismal a la justicia, la paz y la solidaridad, orando por el pueblo venezolano y exhortando a una respuesta humanitaria, responsable y fiel.

Marking one year since the Palisades and Eaton fires, this reflection names the enduring trauma of loss while lifting up the hope found in generosity, accompaniment, and God’s people at work. The synod invites prayer, gentleness, and ongoing support for all who were affected.
