From ELCA Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry, the first of his series of monthly messages.

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry has issued his first in a series of monthly messages that will continue through the end of this year under the title "All Together in One Place."

Each message will share a pastoral word, rooted in Scripture, that witnesses to God’s presence today, our rich theological tradition and the social teaching that connects us.

Read the full message through the link in the comments below.

More from SoCal ELCA Synod Assembly this weekend in Pasadena. A Pentagon medal was awarded to a Lutheran chaplain. Our Bishop Bos is in blue.
Hold all attending in prayer as the spirit guides their discernment. Emmanuel awaits a report on Sunday from our three delegates. 🙏💒
