SUMMARY:Woven Together: Rostered Ministers Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Now more than ever\, in this time of seemingly endless chaos and disconnect\, it’s essential for us to remember the ties that bind us together. Rostered leaders of the ELCA are invited to gather for a time of intentional connection to renew their strength\, enjoy camaraderie with colleagues and reflect on the Holy Spirit’s continuing work among us. \nAll ELCA deacons\, pastors\, bishops (under call\, on leave or disability\, or retired) and candidates approved for call are invited to the Rostered Ministers Gathering\, July 6-9\, 2026\, in Indianapolis\, Ind. They’ll gather under the theme “Woven Together” and center ourselves each day on a thread of that theme: \n\n“Woven Together With God.”\n“Woven Together for Creation.”\n“Woven Together as Community.”\n“Rostered Ministers Woven Together.”\n\nLearn More and Register > \n\n\n\n\nWe’re doing something new and different at this year’s Rostered Ministers Gathering. \nThe Rev. Leila Ortiz\, former bishop of the Metropolitan Washington\, D.C. Synod\, will serve as the event’s theologian-in-residence\, working in tandem with the Rev. Lori Kochanski\, a fiber artist\, ELCA rostered minister and the event’s artist-in-residence. \nThrough word and craft\, Pastor Leila and Pastor Lori will weave together our worship\, workshops and keynote sessions. Pastor Lori will create a tapestry made from fabric contributed by you\, her fellow pastors and deacons\, and “by the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit\,” Pastor Leila will “give language to what we’re experiencing together – how all the conversations\, all the sermons\, and all the addresses have implications for our discipleship and leadership beyond our time together … \n“Especially for such a time as this.” \nRegister today to get the early bird rate through March 31. A limited number of scholarships are available to defray registration costs and other expenses–learn more on the Rostered Ministers Gathering webpage. \nDon’t miss the opportunity to engage with these dynamic presenters. Take the time to be in community\, lamenting\, rejoicing\, listening and learning from one another in these messy\, complicated and challenging times.
