The 2011 ELCA Churchwide Assembly opens today!

We&#8217;re hoping for an overwhelming&#8211; maybe even unanimous&#8211; vote in favor of the Campaign.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re so excited to offer the ELCA a campaign that unites us to look outward&#8230;<br \/>\nA campaign that bridges the gap between continents and finds us hand-in-hand with our African companions&#8230;<br \/>\nA campaign that builds on the health infrastructures of our companions and takes them to new levels&#8230;<br \/>\nA campaign that \u00a0allows us to do God&#8217;s work with our hands in a very concrete way.<\/p>\n<p>This would be the first major campaign of its kind in the ELCA.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some places where you can find the latest on the ELCA Malaria Campaign and the action of the Churchwide Assembly:<\/p>\n<p>1.)
