Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton speaks out against the inhumane actions by legislatures and executive orders while also speaking directly to the transgender and nonbinary community. "God created you in God's image and loves and cares for you exactly as you are. ... You deserve to be safe in our communities. Bullying and discrimination have no place in the body of Christ." The church's commitment to civil and human rights remains and can be found in our resources for the LGBTQIA+ community at ELCA.org/lgbtq.
Another way to learn more about the church's commitment can be found at reconcilingworks.org, an independent Lutheran organization.
