Confronting Racism

Background image: black and white photograph of people carrying a large banner at a march. The banner reads "Standing on the side of LOVE." On the left side of the image is a color photograph of ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, a white woman wearing a black cleric collar under a grey blazer. On the right side of the image is a color photograph or William B. Horne II, a Black man, bald and with glasses, wearing a dark suit and a red tie.

Join ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton and William B. Horne II, an ELCA member from Clearwater, Fla., for a live webcast conversation on the complexity and implications of racism Aug. 6 at 8 p.m. (CDT).

Interested in submitting a question for the ELCA presiding bishop to consider during the live webcast? Send your question to livinglutheran@elca.org. Please provide your name and your congregation’s name, city, and state.

The webcast will be recorded and available at the same link (elca.org/webcast) for later viewing. Follow the conversation on Twitter at #ELCAConfrontRacism.

Junior High Gathering
November 13-15, 2015
Calvary Lutheran Church, Richland Hills

The world tells us who we are to be, what is important, and how we should live.

Jesus came to break that mold to refocus our eyes on God, reminding us to love God with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
