ELCA Presiding Bishop Eaton's June Article in The Lutheran 'Shout-out for Team ELCA'

In her monthly article in The Lutheran, Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, presiding bishop of the ELCA, shares a familiar concept to those who attended the Southern Ohio Synod Assembly (We are Church Together.) The June article is title, 'Shout-out for Team ELCA; A call to all for greater, deeper and unapologetic participation in this church.'

In her usual approachable manner, Bishop Eaton reminds us that we are the body, every one of us and that while non of us is less important than the other, none of us is more important either. We cannot go it alone, nor were we intended to.

'The concept of church as the body of Christ and that we are members of one another, then is very countercultural.' ~ Bishop Elizabeth Eaton
