Following are updates shared from submissions of the Lutheran Office for World Community and state public policy offices: U.N. | Arizona | California | Colorado | Minnesota | Ohio | Pennsylvania | Texas | Washington | Wisconsin.

Arizona’s Solveig Muus, LAMA director, writes in part: “As the newest state public policy office, LAMA opened its doors just a few weeks before the pandemic took hold. LAMA’s focus in the meantime is to gather information and build its network; the policy team is contacting every congregation to listen and to learn how we might serve them.”
