The ELCA Churchwide Assembly adopted a resolution that declared itself a sanctuary denomination. Many of us are asking, “What does this mean?”

With us today to discuss this is Pastor Nelson Rabell-González from Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Lodi. We will draw from the talking points issued by the ELCA to provide a better understanding and further clarification on what sanctuary can mean for St. John’s and other congregations.
