Support for West Virginia

Flash flooding in West Virginia has caused the worst flooding the state has seen in more than a century. People have died, hundreds of homes are severely damaged or destroyed, and thousands of people are without power. With the threat of more rain, more damage is likely. Lutheran Disaster Response is working to assist those who have been affected by the flooding. We know this will be a long road to recovery, and we will be there to accompany those impacted through every phase of this disaster. Your gifts are needed to help respond to the devastation and will work to bring God’s hope, healing and refuge to those who are impacted by these devastating waters. Gifts designated for “West Virginia Flooding” under “U.S. Flooding” will be used to assist those directly impacted until the response is complete. Give by making a check out to Lutheran Disaster Response and send to: ELCA, ELCA Gift Processing Center, PO Box 1809, Merrifield, VA 22116. Write “West Virginia Flooding” on your check’s memo line.

ELCA presiding bishop joins Christian leaders in letter to presidential candidates
CHICAGO—July 18, 2016

In a July 15 letter addressed to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton, presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), joined more than 90 national Christian leaders with the Circle of Protection asking to meet with the candidates to discuss “plans for offering help and opportunity to hungry and poor people in the United States and around the world.”

“We are leaders of Christian communions, organizations and schools who care deeply about hunger and poverty, and we are praying for a president who shares that concern,” the letter reads. The leaders emphasized that steps toward ending hunger and poverty “will require action by all sectors of society and by all the nations of the world.”

The Circle of Protection is a coalition of diverse Christian leaders that advocates for hungry and poor people in the United States and around the world. The letter is available online at www.elca.org/advocacy.
