While Eastern Synod Lutheran continues to publish advertisements for Solid Ground, we are no longer welcome to communicate with the people of the ELCIC through the Canada Lutheran or Esprit magazine, periodicals of the national church. Here's the rest of the story.

Dear Rosalynn,

A few weeks ago I contacted you regarding 2009 Advertising rates for Esprit magazine. You indicated that you would be interested in placing an ad. This is to inform you that the Solid Ground advertisement will no longer be accepted for inclusion in Esprit. ELW will no longer be running advertisements that are not in the interests of the ELW or ELCIC. We will not be running ads that focus on divisive issues within the ELCIC.

Sincerely,
