HAF New Year’s Devotional: Disruptive Compassion

ELCA World Hunger’s Hunger Advocacy Fellows have teamed up to write a series of devotionals for the ELCA Advocacy Blog. The series reflects on one of the year’s early lectionary texts, Ephesians 3:10. Follow along as each Fellow discusses what they wish to see from our candidates for office during this election year.

Week 3: Disruptive Compassion

The third weekly devotional comes to us from Autumn Byars, Hunger Advocacy Fellow working here at the Lutheran Advocacy Ministry of Arizona. In her devotional, Autumn reflects on the need for compassion and the ways that it can disrupt our cycles of frustration and discord, and hopes to see more of it during this election cycle. Autumn asks us a series of questions for our own reflection, including “Can you identify a lived story that may encourage compassion from a lawmaker on an issue you champion?”
