S1E52 - Worship Services in Lent

Episode Notes

Keith and Ben discuss what you might experience in an ELCA congregation's Lenten worship services.

We start with an acknowledgement of churches and people standing up against oppression and a reminder not to lose track that all people are created in the image of God, no matter what side they are on.

We finish by recognizing the installation/consecration of Bishop Dr Haddad in Amman, Jordan as Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land on January 11th.
