Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, addresses the church regarding the changing situations as states and communities face reopening.

“We are now seeing a different phase in government, and that is resulting in a different response from the church,” Harrison said.

The LCMS is working with Alliance Defending Freedom, First Liberty and the Becket Fund to defend religious liberty where needed.
