DEVOTIONS AND RESOURCES
FROM OUR EVANGELISM BOARD
The Rev. Dr. Gregory Seltz reminds us that, “while the resurrection freedom of Good Friday and Easter Sunday is the only enduring, eternal freedom in the world, it is a precious thing to have the temporal freedoms of America as well.” Happy Independence Day from the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty (LCRL). Rev. Dr. Seltz serves as the first executive director of this Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS) organization which began in June 2017.
The LCRL provides input, education, advice, advocacy, and resources in the areas of life, marriage and religious liberty and seeks to engage in discussions in Washington D.C., to establish partnerships and resources in our nation’s Capital for the sake of our churches, schools, universities, and seminaries.
You can learn more and sign up for the e-newsletter at http://lcrlfreedom.org/. You can follow LCRL on Facebook at Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty or on Twitter @LCRLFreedom.
