Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance

The Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance is an international network of churches and church-related organizations committed to campaigning together on common concerns. Current campaigns focus on HIV and AIDS and Food.

The Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance organizes action campaigns and produces action resource kits focused on key international issues related to HIV and AIDS. “Prescription for Life” seeks to improve access to medicines for children living with HIV. “Keep the Promise” is a teaching resource on advocacy and HIV and AIDS.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran World Federation, and Lutheran World Relief are members of the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance.

“The church’s ministry of caring is a grateful response to God’s caring for us. The undeserved love of God announced for all in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is our reason for standing with our neighbor in need…In the same way we are called to “be Christs” for all in our midst who suffer and are ill. Our calling summons us to compassion for, acceptance of, and service with people affected by AIDS both within and outside of our congregations.”

From the ELCA’s 1988 message, “AIDS and the Church’s Ministry of Caring”
