Our Lutheran Life” invites and encourages ELCA members to tell contemporary stories inspired by the Reformation about how the power of God’s grace plays out in the complexities of daily life, relationships, work and school. Your story is welcome, whether it addresses complex questions, heals suffering or recounts times of joy.

These stories narrate how Lutherans move in today’s society as Christians connected to the world around them, seeking to live out their faith for the next 500 years and beyond.

Create and submit your story using best practice recommendations provided here. For an individual ELCA Release Form, click here.

Caryn Riswold (Jacksonville, Ill.), a religion and women’s studies professor at Illinois College, shares her passion for writing and some words of hope for the future of the Lutheran church.

You can watch and/or listen to all stories at livinglutheran.org/reformation.
