Yehiel Curry, presiding bishop of the ELCA, has issued a pastoral message on living in troubled times. Read it here.

Bishop Hutterer writes, “This resurrection we celebrate as Easter people is not a retreat from the world, but an uprising of love within it. It is God’s way of saying that goodness is stronger than evil and that love is stronger than death. Every time we welcome the stranger, tend to the broken, or speak truth in love—we bear witness to resurrection.”
