The ELCA Task Force on Civic Life and Faith will hold two hearings within the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod on the Draft Social Statement on Civic Life and Faith.

September 17th, 7-8

Trinity Lutheran Church, 100 West Main Street, Lansdale

The hearings provide a special opportunity to respond to the text of the draft statement and to hear the perspectives of others.  Views gathered from the hearings will inform the final draft of the statement, which will be presented for consideration and vote at the ELCA Churchwide Assembly, July 28-August 2, 2025 in Phoenix.

Attendees must read the draft statement before the hearings.  We will go through the draft section by section, so it will be helpful to note any changes, additions or deletions you would suggest the drafting team should address. A recorder will note this and it will be sent on to the team.

The draft social statement is available in English and Spanish on the ELCA website (https://www.elca.org/Faith/Faith-and-Society/Current-Social-Writing-Projects/Civic-Life-and-Faith).
