   Who we are and what we do:

 

   Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in PA (LAMPa):

 

  • Advocates on behalf of, and in partnership with, those persons who are  denied justice, dignity, reconciliation, peace, and access to basic human rights, and who lack adequate representation and voice in the arenas of public policy

  • Provides an advocacy voice for the ELCA, its congregations and members, and with government policymakers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

  • Leads discussion forums on current social issues and public policy to help Lutherans understand the connections between faith and daily life

  • Provides training for Lutherans to become better advocates for justice

  • Is one of 20 state public policy offices of the ELCA throughout the United States

 

 

 

 

 

ELCA World Hunger and the Lutheran Advocacy Ministry are partners working to promote justice and seeking to end hunger in Pennsylvania. 

 

The hunger-related advocacy work of

this office is supported by your gifts to ELCA World Hunger.
