Join us as we LEAN into 2026—encouraging informed, faithful, and engaged participation in our democracy.

Extreme heat is becoming more frequent, lasting longer, and placing greater strain on families, workers, older adults, children, and neighbors without reliable access to cooling.

Checking on one another during dangerous temperatures saves lives. But we also have a responsibility to build communities that are better prepared for the future.

• The decisions our elected leaders make affect:
• Affordable and reliable energy
• Safe, resilient, and affordable housing
• Public health and emergency preparedness
• Climate resilience and environmental stewardship
• Investments in neighborhoods most affected by extreme heat

As people of faith, we believe loving our neighbors means caring not only for one another today, but also for the communities we are leaving to future generations.

The future isn’t something that simply happens to us. It’s something we build together.

That’s why organizing, engaging our communities, and participating in our democracy are all acts of faithful neighbor love.

Join Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada as we work for climate justice and help shape the 2026 General Election. Together, we can build a Nevada where every community has the opportunity to thrive—even in a changing climate.

A new poll shows that 80% of Nevadans oppose selling public lands to private interests, with nearly two-thirds saying they strongly oppose the idea. The message is clear: our public lands belong to all of us, not just today, but for future generations.

As people of faith, we believe God’s creation is a gift entrusted to our care. In Genesis, humanity is called to “till and keep” the earth, to steward it with wisdom, justice, and humility.

• In Nevada, public lands are more than acres on a map. They are:
• Places of recreation and renewal.
• Watersheds that sustain our communities.
• Habitat for wildlife.
• Shared spaces that belong to every Nevadan.
• Part of our responsibility to care for creation.

We know Nevada needs more affordable housing. But we also believe we can build housing in smart, sustainable ways that protect the landscapes that define our state rather than relying on large-scale sales of public lands.

Faith calls us to seek the common good, for our neighbors today and for generations yet to come.

What would it mean to build an economy that helps all people — and all creation — flourish?

This fall, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary is opening its Building Moral Economies course to people who are not enrolled as seminary students. The course will be taught by Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda and offered online in a synchronous format on Thursdays, 2:10–4:10 p.m. PT, from September 10 through December 17, 2026.

This is a special opportunity for lay leaders, Synodically Authorized Ministers, advocates, ministry partners, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and justice. Participants will join the seminary course as auditors, which means they can take part in the readings, speakers, conversations, and activities without completing formal written assignments or receiving a grade. While the regular cost to audit a course is $1,088, this opportunity is being offered for $300.

The course explores the calling to build economies that allow “earth’s web of life” — including human beings — to flourish, while resisting predatory capitalism. It brings together theological reflection, practical frameworks for transformative action, and a learning community committed to hope and moral-spiritual agency in the face of overwhelming challenges.

For LEAN advocates, this learning opportunity connects directly with our public witness. Hunger, housing instability, health care access, environmental harm, racial injustice, low wages, and poverty are not isolated issues. They are connected to the moral choices embedded in economic systems. Lutheran advocacy asks not only how we can respond to immediate need, but how we can help shape communities where every neighbor has what they need to thrive.

Dr. Moe-Lobeda frames the course around two great vocations given to humanity: caring for creation and loving our neighbors as ourselves. That grounding will sound familiar to many Lutherans engaged in hunger ministry, public policy advocacy, environmental stewardship, and community organizing. The work of building moral economies is part of our calling to seek justice, practice mercy, and participate in God’s work of healing the world.

This course is also described as an experiment in rethinking traditional theological education — inviting people beyond formal degree programs into deep study, shared reflection, and faithful action. For congregational leaders, hunger advocates, creation care teams, and public policy volunteers, it offers a chance to step back, learn with others, and ask what faithful economic life can look like in our time.

An impactful housing bill was passed by Congress. Tell your lawmakers thank you today.

On July 11, the 21^st Century Road to Housing Act, one of the most consequential housing bills passed in over three decades, became law. The legislation, which bundles together several dozen bipartisan proposals, addresses a number of different measures aimed at modernizing federal housing programs and offering incentives to expand housing supply at the local level.

ELCA national and state advocacy staff, alongside ecumenical and interfaith partners, have encouraged lawmakers to pass many of the proposals included in the final bill for years. This includes policies like authorizing federal disaster housing programs supported by Lutheran Disaster Response, local resources to improve zoning codes, programs to repair aging housing stock and more. Your advocacy through ELCA Action Alerts and meetings on Capitol Hill with elected officials advanced several priorities in this important bill – thank you!

Though much of the success of this bill will depend on action at the state and local level, this bill could provide a huge meaningful lift for congregations working to build housing opportunities, care for the homeless, rebuilding of communities, and expansion of affordability options for people in greatest need.

We welcome you to join us in thanking Congress for working across party lines to advance this legislation today.
