Book of Faith Initiative
In 2007 the ELCA churchwide assembly voted to embrace
an initiative called Book of Faith. The bold vision for this
five-year initiative is: That the whole church become more
fluent in the first language of faith, the language of
Scripture, in order that we might live into our calling as a
people renewed, enlivened, empowered, and sent by the
Word.
