The Rev. Scott Schul, Pastor, Grace Lutheran Church, State College, PA; and chair of the Policy Council, Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania, describes the work of LAMPA (Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania), one of several state agencies that put into practice the Social Statements of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
LAMPA sets policy, organizes resources, and then advocates for that policy in the state legislature. Two current involvements are opposition to same-day lending practices and promotion of nutrition in early education, especially breakfasts.
