Resources Relating to the Israel-Hamas War
The ELCA has close ties to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land,
which has congregations both in the Palestinian territories and in Jerusalem.
We mourn with all of our family in faith--Christians, Jews and Muslims--and with all of God's children
over the grief and trauma of recent events.
You can find the following resources relating to the current war at the ELCA website:
