We 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? The ELCA, in partnership with United Lutheran Seminary, invites us to learn and ponder its timely social teachings as we approach a consequential election.
