Bishop Gary
Wollersheim is the Ecumenical
Officer for the Northern
Illinois Synod. As part of the
ELCA, the Northern Illinois
Synod actively shares and seeks
unity with others who call on
the name of Jesus Christ as
members of the one holy catholic
and apostolic Church. We enjoy
full communion relationships
with several other denominations
in the United States and are
engaged in dialogue to pursue
greater unity with others.
These efforts happen in the
churchwide, synodical and
congregational expressions of
the ELCA.
The
Ecumenical Representative of the
Bishop is Rev. Dr. Timothy V.
Olson, Pastor at Christ -
Belvidere. For information
about resources, questions about
ecumenical matters and ideas
about how to make ecumenical and
interfaith connections with your
neighbors, contact him at

More
information and resources about
ecumenical and interfaith
matters can be found through the
Department of Ecumenical Affairs
of the ELCA.
