Now available: 2008 ELCA Voting and Civic Participation Guide!

Called To Be a Public Church: 2008 ELCA Voting and Civic Participation Guide is now available for download from the ELCA Web site.

As a resource guide to encourage, empower, and equip Lutherans to engage responsibly in the 2008 election cycle, Called To Be a Public Church is intended to encourage congregations to participate in voter registration drives, voter mobilization campaigns, and poll monitoring. The guide emphasizes the importance of keeping all election-related activities nonpartisan and within the confines of the law, and provides guidance for how to do so. Nonpartisan issue briefs on issues related to the ELCA social statements are also included.
