Crisis in Ukraine

Give to ELCA's Eastern Europe Crisis Response – Spirit of Hope has collected at least $850.00 for this major need. Thanks to all who have helped support this cause!

Your gifts to Lutheran Disaster Response during this crisis are already at work. Because of your generosity, $1 million will support the Lutheran World Federation and these member churches:

They are distributing hygiene supplies, food, medicine, bedding and psychosocial and pastoral care to refugees and internally displaced people, most of whom are women and children.

1. Why Christian?
2. Why Jesus?
3. Saved from What? For What?
4. But How?
5. What's the Difference?
6. Why Church? And by the Way, What about "the Others"?
7. Is There Any Hope?
