Fro The Christian Post-The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is holding its biennial denominational meeting in Pennsylvania this week.
Kicking off Monday, delegates from across the United States converged at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., for the 2013 ELCA Churchwide Assembly.
The Assembly, which is scheduled to go from Monday until Saturday, has in attendance about 950 voting members from 65 of the ELCA's synods.
The theme for this year's meeting is "Always Being Made New," which derives from 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
According to information at the ELCA's website provided by the denomination's Office of the Secretary, the theme stresses among other things the 25th anniversary of the ELCA's creation.
