The Twelfth Churchwide Assembly of the ELCA will convene on Monday, August 15, 2011 in Orlando, Florida. This is the third time that the assembly will gather in Orlando. This time we gather to hear reports from the churchwide organization, act on memorials from synods, elect members to the Church Council, act on the proposed Genetics Social Statement and gather in worship and in Bible Study. It will be a full week of activities for the ten members of the Assembly from Northwest Washington. It is my intent to post a daily blog from the Assembly. I will be asking the other members from the synod to add their comments to this blog.
As we move toward this assembly I ask that you hold the 1025 members of this assembly in your prayers. I pray that the Holy Spirit will move among those gathered so that we might be truly "Freed in Christ to Serve."
Chris Boerger
Bishop
