			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have received notice that a new site called <a title="Living Lutheran" href="http://www.livinglutheran.com/" target="_blank">LivingLutheran.com</a> has gone live. The site is dedicated to fostering conversation about living a Lutheran life. Below is the text from the email announcing the site. A link has been added to the &#8220;Links and Resources&#8221; section.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dear friends and colleagues,</p>
<p>I have some exciting news: <a href="https://community.elca.org/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.livinglutheran.com%2f&amp;srcid=21357&amp;srctid=1&amp;erid=933600&amp;trid=62210c01-43bb-4817-9a96-672c7a998363" target="_blank">LivingLutheran.com</a> is now live and open to the public!</p>
<p>As you may know, my colleagues and I have been working on this site for the better part of a year. We dreamed of a place where ELCA members across the nation could come for fresh, daily stories of inspiration and conversation about what it means to &#8220;live Lutheran.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thanks to your support, that dream is now a reality. Many of you provided valuable feedback throughout the process. We were able to incorporate numerous suggestions to make this site more appealing and easier to use. I&#8217;d like to share some of the many positive responses we&#8217;ve received:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;<a href="http://livinglutheran.com/" target="_blank">LivingLutheran.com</a> is us. It’s the face of the ELCA.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;There is a lot of diversity of opinion. Something for everyone. A way to feel connected and encouraged but also challenged &#8212; which is rare.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;<a href="http://livinglutheran.com/" target="_blank">LivingLutheran.com</a> gives a chance for many to express their voice.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I think you, too, will be pleased with the new site and find <a href="https://community.elca.org/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.livinglutheran.com%2f&amp;srcid=21357&amp;srctid=1&amp;erid=933600&amp;trid=62210c01-43bb-4817-9a96-672c7a998363" target="_blank">LivingLutheran.com</a> incredibly useful in your ministry.</p>
<p>I look forward to all of the ways in which this site will help deepen our partnership with one another and with the members of this church.</p>
<p>God&#8217;s peace,</p>
<p><img src="https://community.elca.org/view.image?Id=1047" alt="" width="70" height="90" /></p>
