Today, on this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we are called to action, reflection, and lament. As progressive Lutherans, we believe that every single human being is created in God’s image - a fundamental truth that is violently denied whenever a person is subjected to abuse.![]()

Violence against women is a sin against our neighbor and a profound injustice that shatters the wholeness God intends for creation. Our faith demands more than just prayer; it requires courageous, liberating action.![]()
