An Open Letter of Inclusion to the Concordia Community

Concordia University Portland is rooted in the Christian faith, Lutheran understanding and heritage, and liberal arts tradition and does not tolerate hate in any form, whether covert or overt, in language or in deed. We value all of our students, and community, including those who bring diversity of gender identity and sexual orientation. Please join us in mending any divides and sharing God’s love for all humankind.

As you are all aware, new executive orders issued last week have changed immigration policies and raised concerns and created anxiety for many in our Concordia University community and those communities within which our students, faculty, and staff are called to serve. As a Lutheran Institution, we are called to servant leadership and to live out Jesus’s call to welcome people from all backgrounds and cultures. As we seek to fulfill our mission, we will continue to work with refugees, immigrants and serve those who are displaced.
