At Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries, we believe that sacred hospitality is more than a purpose — it’s a practice rooted in the Gospel. It is the radical welcome that makes space for LGBTQIA+ leaders and their communities to flourish, to belong, and to share their gifts with the church and the world.

As Latiné Heritage Month comes to a close, we are grateful to see this spirit reflected in Living Lutheran’s recent article, Joy, Warmth, and Sacred Hospitality, which highlights our Interim Executive Director, Roberto Lara Aranda, and his reflections on how communities embody love and care in ways that nurture connection and joy. This vision aligns deeply with ELM’s call to center love, justice, and belonging in all we do.
