Bishops and Special Guests
‍

While participation in the Gathering is limited to congregations — youth and their adult leaders — and volunteers, some individuals are invited to join us in New Orleans as special guests. These include bishops, synod staff with direct roles in synodical youth ministry, select churchwide organization staff, ecumenical guests and sometimes international groups sponsored by the Service and Justice home area of the churchwide organization.

Payments and housing will differ depending on how you are involved. As we progress in planning, programs will take shape and we will have more information about how to include you.

Registration is now open for Bishops and Special Guests! To register, you'll need a special code. If you haven't received this code yet, please email gathering@elca.org.
