Religion

Oversen is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. [6] [15] When asked by The Lutheran , a monthly magazine and primary publication of the ELCA, "What's your calling?" she replied:

Broadly, public service. Once I got into the legislature, I found new ways I was able to express my faith in the area of social justice. I was proud to be an ELCA Lutheran in a discussion about discrimination based on sexual orientation ... to say 'some of us are called to social justice and equality as part of our faith, not against our faith.'
