More than 200 bishops and pastors from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), – representing synods from around the country – worshipped together in New York City on April 6 in a show of solidarity and support for Sept. 11. The service of celebration of the resurrection was held at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, a church large enough to accommodate the extensive crowd. The Rev. Carol Hendrix, bishop of the lower Susquehanna Synod, presided at the service, and the Rev. Robert Rimbo, bishop of the Southeast Michigan Synod, preached alongside Metropolitan New York Synod Bishop Stephen Bouman.
