We acknowledge that Edina Community Lutheran Church is located on the traditional, ancestral and contemporary lands of the Dakhóta Oyáte, the Dakota nation. Treaties developed through exploitation and violence were broken. Tribes were forced to exist on ever smaller amounts of land.
Acknowledging this painful history, we as a congregation confess our complicity in the theft of Native land and acknowledge that we have not yet honored our treaties. We further confess that Christians and Christian churches have benefited from this land theft. We commit to being active advocates for justice for Native People and to truth telling that leads to healing.
ECLC is one of 137 congregations plus 3 other worshipping communities that make up the Minneapolis Area Synod. Through both the Minneapolis Area Synod and the entire Evangelical Lutheran Church in America we participate in mission and ministry around the world.
