What is LENS?

LENS is a network of people affiliated with congregational, synod-level, regional, and churchwide units within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America devoted to the task of caring for God's creation.

Our mission is to foster the development of a earthkeeping network of synods across the ELCA and to share information and resources—events, ideas, activities, and programs—in support of earthkeeping efforts.
