Thoughts After The Rocky Mountain Synod Assembly In El Paso

While this year’s Synod Assembly on May 16-18 included the usual voting, a presentation from the ELCA churchwide staff and other business, the event’s worship services, four-part Bible study and speakers focused specifically on human migration and how that impacts ministry along the border region. Most significantly, all assembly participants had an opportunity to go on a “mini-immersion” that Wednesday to visit with ministry leaders and migrants.
