Many consider the call process the most important activity in which a synod engages.
The call process is the way that the ELCA’s 65 synodical bishops engage their congregations, church-related organizations, rostered ministers, and candidates for rostered ministry in a time of thoughtful assessment and prayerful discernment about their work together in ministry and mission.
