The churchwide assembly, the chief legislative authority of the ELCA, met Aug. 17-23 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. About 2,000 people participated, including 1,045 ELCA voting members. The theme for the biennial assembly was "God's work. Our hands."

Existing ministry policies remain in effect until the Church Council approves amended policies. The council serves as the legislative authority of the church between churchwide assemblies. Its next meeting will be here Nov. 13-15.

Suggestion's for the new theme for the council meeting in November? Mine?

God's word, Our stumblingblock.
