Native Nations: Standing Together for Civil Rights

Peter Coyote hosts “Native Nations: Standing Together for Civil Rights,” a television program the ELCA produced for air on ABC network affiliate stations. It chronicles the American Indians’ struggle for civil rights, and the creation of the National Indian Lutheran Board to raise funds and awareness for that struggle. Native Nations tells the story of standing together for sovereignty, justice and civil rights. The program will air October 12 through December 14.

Money Leadership: Your Life With Money

This interactive study course was developed to help pastors and members increase their knowledge about money and how it works. Beginning Sept. 15, participants will learn about the relationship between money and faith, and examine their own behaviors. "Money Leadership: Your Life with Money" includes readings, DVD presentations, written activities, and online interaction with other participants and an ELCA stewardship staff person. Participants discuss giving, saving, spending, debt reduction and financial life planning.  More
