ADVOCACY & JUSTICE ISSUES
The ELCA and the NC Synod have been active in social and justice issues, often speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves. When disaster strikes, the NC Synod gives generously through prayer, financial and volunteer participation. And the synod advocates for the environment and the preservation of God's creation.
