What does the “evangelical” in Evangelical Lutheran Church in America mean?  According to the Seeds for the Parish publication of the ELCA it describes one who believes in the good news of Jesus Christ.  We reclaim this meaning despite how it has been appropriated to divide and judge people.  We share the gospel freely and embrace each other as diverse yet whole people in Jesus Christ.
