John Mann - speaker extraordinaire
Friday, Oct. 13 was the first SPOT event, starring our own
seminary pastor,
John Mann.
Our esteemed
pastor discussed systems theory in the midst of the seminary
community. Since the seminary is in some ways both a work community and
a faith community, the emotional processes within are intensified.
Pastor Mann discussed dealing with community issues in a non-anxious
manner so as to promote clearer communication. He also shared a
wonderful story from
Friedman's Fables about how communities work - how even the
so-called smallest person or creature has a big impact on the community.
Please make a note to attend the next SPOT event November 13
with Ian Punnett
of "A Balanced Breakfast with
Ian and Margery" on FM 107. Not only is Ian an well known radio
personality, he was also a student here at Luther while he finished his
Master of Divinity degree.
Helping others
During the weeks of October 30 until November 10, SPOT will be
providing bins around campus to collect donations for the Luther
Seminary Student Food Shelf and the Merriam Park Community Food Shelf
(located on University Ave.).
Donations will be divided between the
groups.
Please think of helping others during this holiday time. |
