Take time to read through five reflections written by Women of the ELCA participants as part of a study of the ELCA Declaration to People of African Descent. Review the Repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery, adopted by both the ELCA (in 2016) and affirmed by Women of the ELCA (in 2017). It\u2019s a start. This is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to do the important work individually and working together. In that way, all of God\u2019s people can love and be loved, as Jesus teaches us.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/blogs.elca.org\/elcaracialjustice\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2022\/07\/LBpic.jpeg","thumbnail_width":247,"thumbnail_height":241}
