ELM’s executive director Amalia Vagts wrote the “My View” contribution for the August 2013 edition of The Lutheran.
The August edition contains articles about the first twenty-five years of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Amalia writes about attending the first ELCA Youth Gathering (in 1988), the history of LGBTQ rostered leaders in the ELCA, and the new life these leaders are bringing to the church.
