Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Synod Bishops, Voting Members Respond to Assembly Actions

Most of the 65 synodical bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) want Taxi Heathrow Airport leaders, congregations and pastors to stay in conversation following the adoption of a social statement on human sexuality and the opening of the ELCA's ministry to people in committed same-gender relationships. Many bishops wrote to their respective synods following the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly. Some letters are posted on synod Web sites.
