Congregations or other Lutheran settings looking for rostered ministers or other paid staff to work in an LGBT welcoming environment may give notice of that through the LC/NA website, reinforced by a general notice in the Concord.

The website notice must come to us from a call committee, congregation council or president speaking for the council, or other appropriately authorized official.

The website notice should state the position, the organization, its location, a no-more-than 50 word description of the position or organization, a point of contact, and whether additional information is available on a website or through email.

The website notice submission must clearly state when it is to be taken down. Our website can obviously take down an entry on an almost daily basis. Notices without a take-down date will not be posted. Take-down dates can be extended or curtailed as necessary. An email from the authorized person to Jerry Vagts will suffice should the take-down date need to be extended or curtailed.

Notices should be sent to Jerry Vagts, grassroots@lcna.org.

The Concord will run a boxed notice that draws the attention of its readers to this page of individual listings.
