Title: SYNOD YOUTH PRESIDENTS MEET SYNOD YOUTH PRESIDENTS MEET "Leadership has something to do with knowing where people are," said the Rev. H. George Anderson, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, to 110 youth and their adult advisors. The Council of Synod Lutheran Youth Organization Presidents gathered in Chicago Feb. 15-18. Leadership requires supporting and listening to people in your area, said Anderson. Responding to questions, Anderson said the biggest problem facing the ELCA is "helping the church turn eyes outward rather than back to its history." The synod LYO presidents passed resolutions asking youth to write to their elected officials asking for increased foreign aid and encouraging the exploration of new communication avenues, including e-mail and Internet, for those involved in youth ministry. Workshop topics included the work of Lutheran Peace Fellowship, AIDS, images of God, the Evergreen youth television program and land mines. The group elected Norah Bringer, Tacoma, Wash., chair; Jay McDivitt, Loveland, Colo., secretary; Matthew Peterson, Red Wing, Minn., male youth representative to the ELCA Church Council; Marie Segre, Oakland Park, Fla., female representative.
