ELCA presiding bishop joins NCC leaders in letter to vice president, Cabinet and Congress

Elizabeth A. Eaton, presiding bishop of the ELCA, joined leaders from the National Council of Churches in an open letter to Vice President Mike Pence, members of Congress and the Cabinet, calling for the removal of President Donald Trump from office.

The letter states: “Our faith instructs us to take seriously positions of leadership, not to lead others astray and to be careful about what we say and do.

“For the good of the nation, so that we might end the current horror and prepare the way for binding up the nation’s wounds, we, as leaders of the member communions of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC), believe the time has come for the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, to resign his position immediately.”
