About Web Pages

More and more of us are using the Internet as a primary source of information and statistics around a variety of issues. Where do we start and how do we get the needed information, especially when it comes to understanding ELCA policies. The first place to go is to the ELCA Web site www.elca.org.

You will find this a source of information about issues, links to resources both within the ELCA and within like-minded organizations.

Once you have checked out these ELCA sites, visit the other areas of the Advocacy Department:
