Title: ELCA Presidng Bishop's Easter Message ELCA NEWS SERVICE - NEWSBRIEF February 11, 1997 ELCA PRESIDING BISHOP'S EASTER MESSAGE "The resurrection of Jesus opens the door to a larger world than the one we live in every day. We see friends die and they are gone, but God has shown us that it is possible for them to live in a new way. We see evil go unpunished and good go unrecognized, but God has shown us that this life is not the end of the story. We see a few people with great power and many others with none, but Jesus has said that, in God's time, the last shall be first and the first last. At Easter time we get a peek through the door into that larger and more lasting world. It changes the way we live in this one." The Rev. H. George Anderson Presiding Bishop Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Easter 1997 For information contact: Ann Hafften, Director (773) 380-2958 or [log in to unmask] http://www.elca.org/co/news/current.html
