ST. PAUL, Minn. (ELCA) -- Bishops of the six Minnesota synods of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) visited House and Senate
leaders at the State Capitol here March 11 "to advocate for the common
good of all people in the state," according to a news release from the
ELCA Saint Paul Area Synod. The visits were planned so that the bishops
could share their concerns "about the toll of the state's budget deficit
on the state's poorest citizens," the release said.
