EXPLANATION OF THE WELCA
LOGO
The
symbol – with cross, water, and a white lily, identifies the Women of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as children of God; baptized,
forgiven, adopted into God’s family, full of grace and hope in eternal
life. It is a reminder of the growth, beauty, and vitality that rises out
of that life-giving baptism water. It is also a reminder of the mission of
the church to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
(Matthew 28:19 NRSV)

PLEDGE TO THE CHRISTIAN FLAG
I pledge
allegiance to the Christian Flag, and to the Savior for whose kingdom it
stands, one brotherhood, uniting all mankind in service and love.
PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE WOMEN OF THE ELCA
As a
community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in
Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow
in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in
ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the
society, and the world.
THE AMERICAN’S CREED
I believe
in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the
people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of
the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many
sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon
those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which
American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes, I therefore, believe
it is my duty to my country to live it, to support its constitution, to obey
its laws, to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemies
