Feb. 1-3
Luther Seminary
St. Paul, Minn.
During his lifetime, Martin Luther would spend time with students conversing about God’s living presence in the midst of the struggles of daily life. The theology that emerged changed the political and religious landscape across all of Europe. Today, people are also faced with political and religious uncertainty; does our Lutheran heritage have something to offer?
We’ve paired Luther faculty with parish pastors to engage some of the issues our congregations are struggling with today—identity, divisiveness, technology and community. Join these scholars and practitioners for fresh and honest conversations on how our distinctive Lutheran voice is uniquely gifted to speak into our world today.
- Why Church? And Why Lutheran? Lois Malcolm, Professor of Systematic Theology, and Scott Richards, serving a two-point parish in Gaylord, Minn.
- When God’s Promises Meet People: Conflict in the Church Michael Chan, Assistant Professor of Old Testament, and Hollie Holt-Woehl, intentional interim pastor in the Minneapolis Synod.
- Now You See It: Table Talk in the Digital Age Mary Hess, Professor of Educational Leadership, and Keith Anderson, author and pastor of Upper Dublin Lutheran Church in Ambler, Pa.
