Dear friend in Christ,

Easter greetings! I’m writing to you with exciting news – Living Lutheran, the new flagship publication of the ELCA, has officially launched. 

Beginning with its April issue, The Lutheran magazine will be called Living Lutheran and will have an accompanying website, LivingLutheran.org. Our new name, Living Lutheran, signifies this church’s living, daring confidence in God’s grace. Your new Living Lutheran has a bold, modern look and will continue to offer stories, reflections and news that illuminate Christ’s presence in the world.

Visit LivingLutheran today for:

• Stories and commentary from the 3.7 million members, 9,300 congregations and partner organizations that make up the ELCA
• An exploration of issues important to Lutherans
• Resources to help deepen your faith through worship, stewardship, arts, music and more
• Best practices and ideas for mission and ministry
• Opportunities to witness our church at work in this country and around the world
• Monthly reflections from me and others
• Ideas and resources for parents, grandparents and families who are passing faith on to children and youth
• Coverage of ELCA religious news and events
• A free e-digest highlighting the latest and most popular stories, an introductory offer on new print subscriptions and more!

I’m grateful to everyone who took part in research and surveys, and offered feedback that influenced these changes.

Join the conversation! Visit the new Living Lutheran today.

In Christ, 
Elizabeth A. Eaton
