SUMMARY:Prophets\, Saints\, and Kings
DESCRIPTION:Resisting Christian Nationalism and Building the Beloved Community with King and Bonhoeffer \nJoin us for a day with internationally renowned Bonhoeffer scholars\, Dr. Stephen Haynes and Dr. Reggie Williams.  \nOn MLK weekend\, we’ll learn about the intersecting legacies and lessons of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, while deepening our understanding of how people of faith can confront and resist the growing forces of authoritarianism and Christian nationalism in our own time. Being rooted in learning and worship\, we’ll dream together about how to make a world to best live into our own calls to seek justice and peace.   \nKindling Faith: Prophets\, Saints\, and Kings – YouTube \nNOTE: For those who were able to gather in spite of the weather\, thank you for the conversation and shared encouragement! For those who were unable to make it\, we missed you and hope we see you soon. (Mark your calendars for Lutheran Day in the Capitol\, LAMPa’s annual day of learning and advocacy\, on April 20. Details and registration coming soon!) We hope you will find this recording of Saturday’s event useful for your own discernment and for informing communal discernment in your context. While we are delighted to offer this resource as a gift to you\, events like this require significant time\, funding\, and effort to make possible. We invite you to support LAMPa with a donation so we can continue providing meaningful programs like this in the future. You can find out more about donating here. \nSCHEDULE \nSaturday\, January 17 \n10 a.m. — A talk given by Dr. Reggie Williams: When cruelty is elevated to state policy and loyalty to the nation is confused with loyalty to Christ\, it is little wonder that Christians have so frequently found themselves on the wrong side of history. Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King Jr. were both pastors and theologians who wrestled with the meaning of Christ-centered faithfulness for their time. They were advocates of social justice and human rights who defied contemporary laws and cultural norms\, and they faced opposition to their work from many of their fellow Christians. We may learn from their prophetic witness for Christian faithfulness in our contexts by paying attention to their respective interpretations of the way of Jesus. \n11 a.m. — A talk given by Dr. Stephen R. Haynes: What does resistance look like in our time and place? As we search for models\, there is a natural tendency to look to the life and legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer\, “hero of the anti-Nazi resistance.” But what part of Bonhoeffer’s resistance is most relevant for us? His writing? His speaking? His part in an assassination plot? This presentation will explore the totality of Bonhoeffer’s “resistance to the Nazis\,” from 1933 to his death in 1945. \nNoon — Lunch — Order a boxed lunch when you register for the day or dine on your own in Gettysburg. \n1:30 p.m. —  A panel discussion featuring Antoine Cummins\, Dr. Smallwood\, Dr. Williams and Dr. Haynes will follow lunch to help participants understand the ways in which Bonhoeffer’s theology counters the ways in which Christian nationalist forces frame “faithful” participation in the public sphere. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of ways in which they can speak about their faith and public life and can take concrete action to counter the harmful narratives of Christian nationalism. \n2:45 p.m. — We end our time by coming together around the Word and Sacrament\, with preaching by the Rev. Dr. Teresa Smallwood.  Rooting ourselves in worship reminds us of our connection to one another in concrete community and as part of the communion of saints throughout time and space. We are sent nourished and filled\, ready for the work we are called to do. \n  \nSPEAKERS \nDr. Reggie Williams is Associate Professor of Black Theology and African American Studies at St Louis University in St Louis\, Missouri. He is the author of Bonhoeffer’s Black Jesus: Harlem Renaissance Theology and an Ethic of Resistance\, which was selected as a Choice Outstanding Title in theology\, in 2014 (revised edition\, 2021).

SUMMARY:Gathering at the Gate
DESCRIPTION:See below for information on a grassroots movement and advocacy opportunity happening in Washington\, D.C. on September 16-17. Gathering at the Gate is not officially sponsored by the ELCA and LAMPa\, though the advocacy portions will be informed by ELCA Advocacy and Witness in Society staff. \nWe offer this invitation to you who want to respond to the call of Amos 5:15 to “hate evil\, love good\, and establish justice in the gate.” There are virtual options available\, in addition to the in-person gathering. Registration closes September 1. \nAn Invitation to Make A Strong Impact\n2025 has seen relentless attacks on civil rights\, equal rights\, refugee resettlement\, and support for the most vulnerable globally and nationally. People of faith are sensing a call to embody the call of Amos – Hate Evil\, and love good\, and establish justice in the gate (5:15). As Lutheran leaders—bishops\, pastors\, deacons\, and faith leaders—please join us to gather as a public witness to God’s justice and mercy. Together\, we pray to gather 500+ leaders to stand at the “gate” of Washington\, D.C.\, where harmful decisions are made that shape the lives of immigrants and refugees\, LGBTQIA+ people\, and all those who are pushed to the margins\, and are being erased in front of our eyes. This gathering will root and connect us together as we journey forward in our work together. \nWhy We Gather \nWe are Lutheran Christians—rostered and lay—gathering in a time of growing injustice against refugees\, immigrants\, 2SLGBTQIA+ people\, those experiencing poverty\, and many pushed to the margins and harmed by unjust systems. We are compelled by our faith to proclaim good news and act with courage. Rooted in Amos’ call to justice\, we gather not only to pray\, but to build relational power and pursue sustained change. \nThis is more than a two-day event in our hearts and minds. It’s a faithful step into a sustained movement over multiple years—deepening relationships\, naming what is broken\, and discerning a shared call to action. \nWhat Guides Us \nWe are: \nWITH those who suffer violence\, exclusion\, or erasure and organizations that advocate and work on their behalf. \nAGAINST systems and rhetoric that deny dignity. \nCOMMITTED to sustained empowerment\, advocacy\, and organizing beyond this moment.​ \nCALLED to act from our Christian Lutheran commitments to justice\, accountability\, and mercy. \nWhat Gathering at the Gate Is \nThis is a grassroots movement\, and we pray only a starting point. We are working to create the capacity for leaders to show up\, listen deeply\, and speak clearly. We gather to root ourselves in faith\, amplify marginalized voices\, and build trust that can carry lasting work forward. We gather as Lutherans\, friends\, and neighbors with and for the whole church and world. \n“Be merciful\, just as your God is merciful.” – Luke 6:36 \n  \nLearn more and register.

SUMMARY:Commemoration of the Emanuel 9
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2019 ELCA Churchwide Assembly\, voting members adopted a resolution designating June 17 as a commemoration of the martyrdom of the Emanuel 9—the nine people shot and killed on June 17\, 2015\, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston\, S.C. \nThe resources referenced below are provided to help synods and congregations mark this commemoration. These resources can be adapted for virtual worship\, online conversation\, or individual reflection and devotion. You are invited to use them in whatever ways are most helpful for your local context. \nOur relationship to the shooter\, as well as two of the slain\, reminds us of both our complicity and our calling. Together we confess that we are in bondage to the sins of racism and white supremacy and\, at the same time\, we rejoice in the freedom that is ours in Christ Jesus who “has broken down the dividing wall\, that is\, the hostility between us” (Ephesians 2:14). May God continue to guide us as we seek repentance and renewal\, and racial justice and reconciliation among God’s precious children. \n\n\nThe following paragraph describing this commemoration could be provided for congregations in resources such as service folders. \nEmanuel Nine\, martyrs\, 2015\nOn June 17\, 2015\, Clementa C. Pinckney\, Cynthia Marie Graham Hurd\, Susie Jackson\, Ethel Lee Lance\, DePayne Middleton-Doctor\, Tywanza Sanders\, Daniel Lee Simmons\, Sharonda Coleman-Singleton\, and Myra Thompson were murdered by a self-professed white supremacist while they were gathered for Bible study and prayer at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church (often referred to as Mother Emanuel) in Charleston\, South Carolina. Pastors Pinckney and Simmons were both graduates of the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. A resolution to commemorate June 17 as a day of repentance for the martyrdom of the Emanuel Nine was adopted by the Churchwide Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on August 8\, 2019. Congregations of the ELCA are encouraged reaffirm their commitment to repenting of the sins of racism and white supremacy which continue to plague this church\, to venerate the martyrdom of the Emanuel Nine\, and to mark this day of penitence with study and prayer. \n\nFind more resources for worship\, prayer\, and learning about the Emanuel 9 and racial justice in the ELCA here.

SUMMARY:Juneteenth
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom\, a time to gather in community and commemorate the official\, announced end of slavery in the U.S.\, even if the history of oppression\, racism\, and anti-Black violence that characterized it are still part of our story in church and in the United States.  \nAs ELCA Lutherans set free in Christ to seek community and to seek justice\, it is our duty to act against present injustices\, speak to our shared witness of Christ and of injustice in this world\, and join in the celebration of freedom that is Juneteenth.  \nRead an ELCA blog post from our ELCA Racial Justice Ministries director on reckoning with the legacy of slavery while moving forward here.  \nA Living Lutheran article on Juneteenth\, freedom\, and our common humanity\, written by an ELCA pastor\, is available here.  \nELCA worship resources for Juneteenth can be found here.  \nLAMPa is happy to accompany ELCA communities in the pursuit of justice and to connect them with resources for advocacy. Let us know what you are doing for Juneteenth and how we can support you by sending us an email at LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org.

SUMMARY:Hope in a Divided World: A Faithful Response to Christian Nationalism
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a weekend with Dr.  Lori Brandt Hale\, president of the International Bonhoeffer Society – English Language Section AND Amanda Tyler of Christians Against Christian Nationalism. Discover how people of faith can authentically and humbly act at the intersection of civic life and faith\, in contrast and response to the forces of Christian nationalism\, using the legacy and theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a guide. We are grateful to partner with United Lutheran Seminary’s Kindling Faith to offer this event. \nNEW!!  Young adults and youth attending Saturday’s presentations are invited to join ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton for a private luncheon.  (Congregations bringing a group of three or more youth can receive a discount for youth tickets with the promo code YOUTHGROUP at registration. ) \nREGISTER FOR FRIDAY RECEPTION BY FEB. 28. BOXED LUNCHES ARE CLOSED FOR SATURDAY REGISTRATION. REGISTER TO ATTEND BY MARCH 6.  \nEARLY BIRD DISCOUNT ENDS FEB. 11!  \nThe historic cupola of the Seminary Ridge Museum. Used with permission. \nFriday\, March 7\, 6:00 p.m. – Authors’ Reception and Dinner – $75 \nMeet Dr. Lori Brandt Hale\, president of the International Bonhoeffer Society – English Language Section\, and Amanda Tyler\, lead organizer of Christians Against Christian Nationalism and executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty. A reception at the Seminary Ridge Museum will allow visitors to talk with both authors and tour the museum that was used as a hospital for wounded from both sides at the Battle of Gettysburg. Tickets include an opportunity for attendees to visit the building’s historic cupola!  The dinner will feature a brief talk on the unfinished work of Reconstruction by the Rev. Dr. Teresa Smallwood\, dean and vice president of student affairs at United Lutheran Seminary. \nSaturday\, March 8\, Chapel of the Abiding Presence  – Public Lectures and Panel Discussion – $45; Optional Boxed Lunch – $20; Livestream – $20 \nSchedule \n10 a.m. — Amanda Tyler will offer insights related to our current context and her new book How to End Christian Nationalism. This presentation defines what Christian nationalism is\, explains how it works in our society (and beyond)\, interprets the movement in the light of the gospel\, and offers suggestions for Christian response. \n11 a.m. — Dr. Brandt Hale will give a public lecture on Bonhoeffer’s concept of “This-Worldly” Christianity\, also known as “religionless” Christianity. Dr. Brandt Hale will illustrate how Bonhoeffer’s thinking evolves\, and how ultimately\, he believes that the Christian witness is most faithful and powerful when “viewed from below\,” from the perspective of everyday people\, especially the poor and oppressed. \nNoon — Lunch — Order a boxed lunch when you register for the day or dine on your own in Gettysburg. Young adults and youth attending the lectures may sign up for a private luncheon with Bishop Eaton. Choose the boxed lunch when registering. \n1:30 p.m. —  A panel discussion featuring Dr. Brandt Hale\, Ms. Tyler\, and the Rev. Amy Reumann will follow lunch to help participants understand the ways in which Bonhoeffer’s theology counters the ways in which Christian nationalist forces frame “faithful” participation in the public sphere. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of ways in which they can speak about their faith and public life and can take concrete action to counter the harmful narratives of Christian nationalism. \n2:45 p.m. — We end our time by coming together around the Word and Sacrament\, with preaching by the Rev. Elizabeth Eaton\, Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).  Rooting ourselves in worship reminds us of our connection to one another in concrete community and as part of the communion of saints throughout time and space.

SUMMARY:Commemoration of the Emmanuel Nine 2024
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the ELCA commemorates the Emmanuel Nine on June 17. The Emmanuel Nine are nine people who were shot and killed on June 17\, 2015\, during a Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston\, South Carolina.  \nOur relationship to the shooter\, as well as two of the slain\, reminds us of both our complicity and our calling. The commemoration calls for us to repent for the sins of racism and white supremacy—sins that too often are present in our lives and that too often harm those who are Black and indigenous—and to rededicate ourselves to the Christ who makes us one and makes us whole.  \nThe ELCA offers resources for the commemoration here. Several resources are for worship and sharing in community.  \nYou can sign the ELCA Anti-Racism Pledge here.  \nLAMPa is happy to accompany ELCA communities in the pursuit of justice and to connect them with resources for advocacy. Let us know how you are marking the commemoration of the Emmanuel Nine in your congregation or synod and how we can support you by sending us an email at LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org.

SUMMARY:RIC Sunday 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join a congregation and community to celebrate Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Sunday 2024.  \nRIC Sunday worship 2024 is called “Roll Down Justice.” This year’s worship service celebrates the 50th anniversary of ReconcilingWorks and is inspired by Amos 5:24.  \nLet justice flow like a river\, and righteousness flow like an unfailing stream.  \nReconcilingWorks wants to celebrate with your faith community and is excited to offer these resources. Many RIC communities celebrate RIC Sunday on the last Sunday in January. This year\, that lands on January 28\, 2024. ReconcilingWorks encourages you to celebrate on a date that is meaningful for your community. Be sure to use this day as a time to recommit to your partnership as a RIC faith community\, discern ways to live into your RIC partner commitments\, and set new milestones for the year to come.  \nYou can find information about RIC Sunday 2024 here.  \nRIC Sunday resources for RIC Sunday worship 2024 are available here.  \nYou can find LAMPa bulletin inserts here (Color; B&W) to share with your worshipping community. They include ways to stand with and advocate with our LGBTQIA+ siblings in Pennsylvania\, specifically contacting your state senator and calling on them to support The Fairness Act (HB 300) and updates to state hate crimes laws.  \nLet us know what you are doing in your synod or congregation by sending a note to LAMPa@lutheranadvocacypa.org. We would be happy to connect and to share more advocacy resources to complement the service and worship you are doing for RIC Sunday.

SUMMARY:Driving PA Forward Day in the Capitol
DESCRIPTION:Join LAMPa and our partners in the Driving PA Forward Coalition in Harrisburg for a day of meetings with lawmakers to advocate for HB 769\, Driver’s Licenses for All. This bill would separate driver’s license eligibility from citizenship status\, as it was before 2003. Currently\, 15 states and Washington\, D.C.\, offer driver’s licenses to all\, regardless of immigration status. LAMPa has long been a part of the coalition to advance this policy for the wellbeing of our immigrant neighbors and the safety of all on Pennsylvania roadways. This legislation would help make our roads and communities are safer by enabling more drivers to be licensed and insured and is projected to have economic benefits to the Commonwealth as well. You can find more information and resources on this policy here. \nOn Nov.  14\, be a part of this gathering to show your concern for the livelihoods and safety of immigrants and recognize their \nApple pickers at work in Adams County. Come apple harvest time\, workers come to this area by the thousands. Nationwide\, an estimated 70\,000 workers pick apples every fall. \ncontribution to our communities — particularly our agricultural economy.  The event will feature a Thanksgiving table set in the Capitol Rotunda\, thanking farm workers and all who contribute to the feast day we celebrate\, but which many who provide the food cannot themselves enjoy.  Workers from throughout the food supply chain will speak to highlight the contributions of farm workers and immigrants in making the traditional holiday meal possible. \nLegislative visits will follow.  If you are able to attend\, please let us know\, and we’ll coordinate meetings as LAMPa with our coalition partners.  We expect to wrap up by early afternoon.  Email us with your address (to help us identify your lawmakers) at LAMPa@Llutheranadvocacypa.org with DRIVING in the subject line by Nov. 6.   \nIf you are unable to join us in the Capitol\, but would be like to be in touch with your lawmakers\, please drop us a note\, again\,  with your address\, at LAMPa@Llutheranadvocacypa.org and include DRIVING in the subject line. We will respond with more information. \nTo join our statewide network of advocates working to make Pennsylvania a state that stands for welcome\, please email us at LAMPa@Llutheranadvocacypa.org with IMMIGRATION in the subject line and staff will reach out to you.

SUMMARY:Kindling Faith: Lazareth Lecture - "What is Christian Nationalism?"

Such ideologies can lead to the erosion of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism. Rev. Dr. Pamela Cooper-White\, author of The Psychology of Christian Nationalism offers keen insights into the nature of this movement and how critical-thinking Christians can provide a much-needed counter-narrative to this fear-based rhetoric. \nSPEAKER: The Rev.
