[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Student debt payments have been paused for 1,140 days. Telling 50 million Americans that their monthly bill of $500—that they haven't had to pay in nearly 4 years—is now suddenly due would be politically foolish and economically devastating.

@MarciaBrady51 Pastor Rohrer uses they or he pronouns. If you continue to misgender them, then you will be blocked.

As for what more, as the original tweet states: Bp. Eaton said she was beginning a disciplinary process, so an update on the disciplinary process would be great.

[TeaELCA @TeaElca]

It's been over 3 months since Bp. Eaton informed the ELCA that she was beginning the disciplinary process for the former Bishop of the Sierra Pacific Synod. We were told "This process will take time, and I will provide updates as appropriate."

How much time? When will we hear?

Was #ELCAcwa a COVID superspreader? Stay tuned as more positive test results come in!

If you were there, please isolate and test yourself for the next week (despite how the @CDCgov has caved to capitalist pressure). #CWA2022 #CWATea

This is overdue and very needed. Now the task is to make sure the revision is done well. #ELCAcwa #CWA2022 #CWATea

[ELCA Lutherans @ELCA]

The assembly voted in favor of authorizing a possible revision to the social statement, "Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust," focusing revisions on the concept of the four positions of "bound conscience." #ELCAcwa

This is a comprehensive thread of what is being talked about for the On Leave From Call memorial #ELCAcwa #CWA2022 #CWATea

[Sarah Taylor @RevSarahTaylor]

The On Leave From Call (OLFC) memorial, while highly technical, is another issue where just breaking the silence is hugely important. #ELCAcwa

[TeaELCA @TeaElca]

Check out this resolution to put into action what was stated during what was, for many, a disappointing apology from @ELCABishopEaton to Iglesia Luterana Santa Maria Peregrina #Reformation2022 #ELCAcwa #CWA2022 #CWATea

This resolution was submitted ahead of the 10:15am deadline. Wanted to share it here so that folks can read it, think about it, before it comes to the floor.
Regarding Iglesia Luterana Santa María Peregrina and...

If we truly have opened a church in every home (& I believe we did) can we please talk about digital administration of the Sacraments? #ELCAcwa

[TeaELCA @TeaElca]

An apology shouldn’t last 25 minutes, Unless you are justifying the wrong you cause, I’m which case it isn’t an apology.

[TeaELCA @TeaElca]

Apologies are good, but they’re meaningless without changed behavior.

[Naomi Fae @theaemrys]

#ELCAcwa Pro Tip: if the language in the room does not respect and honour the images of God present ... maybe you do not have the knowledge needed to rewrite your statement on Queer Lives

[TeaELCA @TeaElca]

Remember: A budget is a theological document.

[TeaELCA @TeaElca]

Two hours isn’t enough to discuss all the memorials on the table at #ELCACWA. Thankfully there are people on the ground working to change that. #CWATea #CWA2022

@TeaElca Just for Rev. Hazel Davidson who has been without compensation since she went on medical leave in late 12/21.
