Congregations Discern Disaffiliation
On Wednesday, April 23rd, Bishop Anne received notice from the congregation council at Peace in Rosendale to begin the disaffiliation process. Outlined in the constitution of the ELCA, the disaffiliation process is a period of time surrounded by conversation, support, and prayer.
Please hold the leaders and members at Peace in your prayers - as well as those serving on the Prayer/Support/Presence Team. You can read Bishop Anne's letter to Peace in Rosendale here.
On Sunday, May 4, Our Savior's Denmark voted to disaffiliate from the ELCA and to join the NALC. Thank you to everyone who offered support, prayer and presence as part of the bishop's consultation with Our Savior's. To read Bishop Anne's sermon from worship with Our Savior's on May 4, click here.
Recent disaffiliations in our synod and around the ELCA have been informed by false narratives about the upcoming churchwide assembly. Read a document from the ELCA Office of the Secretary addressing some common rumors, here.
