About the Event

Redeemer Vietnamese Baptist Church is proud to host the event 'Make a Statement: a forum on the ELCA, Women, & Justice'. This event aims to bring together individuals passionate about social justice and the empowerment of women within the context of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

Forum Topics

Inclusive Leadership within the ELCA

The forum will begin with a discussion on the need for inclusive leadership within the ELCA. We will explore the importance of diverse representation, both in terms of gender and ethnicity, in shaping a more equitable and inclusive church community. Expert panelists will shed light on the challenges faced by women in leadership positions and address ways to create a culture that fosters equal opportunities.

Giving Voice to Marginalized Women

Another significant topic for discussion is the need to give voice to marginalized women within the ELCA. We will delve into the experiences of women from diverse backgrounds and highlight the unique challenges they face. Through engaging dialogues, we hope to inspire action and advocate for greater inclusivity across all aspects of church life.

Promoting Gender Equality and Social Justice

Gender equality and social justice are at the core of our mission. During the forum, we will reflect on how these principles can be actively integrated into ELCA's practices and policies. We will encourage participants to share insights and experiences, fostering a collective effort towards positive change within the church and beyond.
