MULTIETHNIC AND INTERSECTIONAL NETWORK ELCA

The Multiethnic & Intersectional Network is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). 

WHO WE ARE
The Multiethnic & Intersectional Network is a practitioner-led movement within the ELCA cultivating congregations and leaders who embody shared leadership, shared power, and authentic belonging across race, ethnicity, ability, language, sexuality, class, gender, culture, theology, etc. This is not a program. 

We are the resource. The network itself –the living, breathing community of diverse lay and rostered leaders across synods, congregations, and churchwide expressions is the primary deliverable. We are grounded theologically in the biblical vision of every ethnos gathered as one body (Matthew 28; Acts 2; 1 Corinthians 12), we believe multiethnicity and intersectionality are not optional strategies, but essential characteristics of the Church. The embodied diversity before God is a resource.
