Just Us Narratives: A Night of Centering Multiracial Voices across the ELCA | Jan. 20, 2026

Описание: We gathered on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, to listen more deeply and deepen connections that support all of our humanity. Congregations and members across the ELCA will watch the live-stream studio event and reflect on the stories shared for the evening.

We are a church of many identities and experiences, building a multiracial, faith-filled movement of solidarity of the Beloved community as envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King. The document, Strategy Towards Authentic Diversity, calls for a shared vision of creating an authentic “kindom”* of God that reflects the teachings of Jesus, as expressed in the dignity, humanity, and equity of all people in church and society. Join us for a night of intentional story-sharing and reflection that will bring the ELCA together.

We encourage you to use this reflection worksheet as you engage deeply in “Just Us Narratives" https://resources.elca.org/wp-content...
