Shrimp here, still trying to regain our bearings after the twister that hit Minneapolis. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, we're not sure what more to say than this photo of Central Lutheran's steeple we snapped during the ELCA's Churchwide Assembly.
But here on the ELCA's web site, you'll be able to find lots of words -- the responses of ELCA Bishops to their synods following the Assembly. Thanks to ELCA Communications Services, who have traced down these statements from (so far) 50 of the ELCA's 65 synodical bishops for the new Our Faithful Mission Together web resource section.
We're not sure if we have the heart to read many of them, yet. Three weeks later, this picture remains the most compelling response we've seen so far. And we're afraid to learn how much, or how little, consolation -- and yes, despite all we've been writing about this for the last 4-plus years, we find ourselves in need of consolation -- we will find. As for you, go ahead, check out your bishop's response, and maybe a few others.
And pray.
Shrimp out.
