From The Washington Post-More than 500 years ago, a monk named Martin Luther nailed 95 theses outlining his grievances with the Roman Catholic Church to the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany.
On
Wednesday afternoon, members of the mainline Protestant denomination
bearing Luther’s name taped 9.5 theses — expressing their concern for
immigrants and refugees — to the door of the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement building in Milwaukee.
The action
was part of a prayer vigil for migrant children and their families
during the ELCA Churchwide Assembly this week at Milwaukee’s Wisconsin
Center.
It took place on the same day the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America declared itself a “sanctuary
church body,” signaling its support for immigrants.
