Celebration of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple of Jerusalem at Iglesia Luterana Santa María Peregrina. Even though our people are still afraid of ICE, we had a good attendance today. During my sermon I encouraged the community to not allow fear to paralyze them. We need to organize.

Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, join the #ELCA to the #QuakerLawsuit or make a #JointStatement with our ecumenical friends?

Peace to all. Take some action in solidarity with the migrant community. Text or email President Biden encouraging him to issue a presidential pardon on immigrants before he leaves office. 🙏🏾

Join us. 🙏🏿
