THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA (“ELCA”) is the nation’s largest Lutheran denomination, with nearly 5 million members. The ELCA’s highest legislative body is its Churchwide Assembly, which convenes every two years. The ninth such Churchwide Assembly has just ended. Yesterday, the Assembly adopted a resolution calling upon the ELCA’s members, congregations, and agencies to “participate in the churchwide campaign for peace–Peace Not Walls: Stand for Justice in the Holy Land. . . .”
