PoP Advocacy Team
The PoP ELCA Advocacy Team purposes are to:
1. Help PoP members grow in awareness of ELCA Advocacy Ministry.
“ELCA advocacy ministry speaks for biblical values: peacemaking, hospitality to strangers, care for creation, and concern for people living in poverty and struggling with hunger and disease.” www.download.elca.org/ELCA%20Resource%20Repository/2015%20ELCA%20Advocacy%20Priorities.pdf?_ga=1.255565320.187594867.1376877390
2. Support the efforts of ELCA Faith and Society by increasing member participation in:
ELCA e-Advocacy Network: www.elca.org/en/Our-Work/Publicly-Engaged-Church/Advocacy
Lutheran Office for Public Policy in Wisconsin www.loppw.org/
The current ELCA social statement process
www.elca.org/Faith/Faith-and-Society/Current-Social-Writing-Projects/Women-and-Justice
Interfaith advocacy groups, such as
o ESTHER – Faith Communities United for Justice: www.esther-foxvalley.org/about
o Bread for the World
o Wisconsin Council of Churches: www.wichurches.org/advocacy/
3. Provide opportunities to learn about & discuss important issues in a non-partisan, faith-informed way
4. Help PoP members grow in confidence and skills of using their citizen voices.
As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. God uses our hands, through our direct service work and our voices, through our advocacy efforts, to restore and reconcile our world. Through faithful advocacy, the ELCA lives out our Lutheran belief that governments can help advance the common good.
In this session recorded on Feb. 21, 2021, the PoP ELCA Advocacy Team members share just how easy it is to join with fellow Lutherans across the country in calling for change using ELCA e-Advocacy and support the ELCA’s mission. All youth and adults are encouraged to participate.
