Received from the ELCA offices:

Dear friend,

If you could ask Presiding Bishop Mark S. Hanson a question about the ELCA, what would it be?

I invite you to submit your question at our next online Town Hall Forum with Bishop Hanson on Sunday, September 19, 2010, at 5 p.m. EDT.

Participating is easy and convenient:

• Watch the event live from 5-6 p.m. EDT at www.elca.org/townhall
• "font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Log in to post questions online
• Post comments using Facebook Connect  
• Tweet about the event using the hashtags #ELCA and #BishopHanson
• View open captioning

Whether or not you have a question to ask, you’ll be part of a nationwide conversation with other ELCA members about issues that matter to all of us. What a remarkable opportunity!

I encourage you to save the date and join us. Here's your chance to make your voice heard.

Sincerely,

Kristi Bangert
Executive Director, Communication Services
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
