Our Mission
To awaken hearts to God’s work in the world through Jesus Christ, to confront injustice, oppression, and white supremacy as offenses to the gospel, and to inspire transformational action for personal and systemic change throughout the ELCA and society.
Our Board
The EDLARJ board consists of laypeople and clergy from around the ELCA who are committed to dismantling white supremacy in our church.
