Central America Becomes Teaching Ground for 2004-2005 Preaching Fellow<\/h4>\n

Master of Divinity senior Amanda Olson was set to go on Luther Seminary’s crosscultural mission trip to Guatemala this past January when a severe back injury from a sledding accident kept her grounded in the U.S. An admitted \u201ctravel bug,\u201d Amanda was disappointed not to be going, but there\u2019s a silver lining to the story. Now, instead of a few weeks in Guatemala, Amanda will spend a year studying in Central America as the recipient of Luther Seminary\u2019s 2004-2005 Graduate Preaching Fellowship. www.luthersem.edu\/Elerts\/more_story.asp#fellow [Read more about Amanda’s fellowship opportunity.] <\/p>\n

Faculty and Students Ponder The Passion<\/h4>\n

It’s become a media phenomenon. The Passion of the Christ is the highest grossing independent film ever. It has elicited conversation in congregations, coffeehouses and around the company water cooler. On campus, the Luther Seminary community was invited to a panel discussion March 17 to hear from noted scholars and talk about the film\u2019s varying messages. www.luthersem.edu\/Elerts\/more_story.asp#passion [Read the whole story.] www.luthersem.edu\/resources\/panel_passion.asp [View the entire panel discussion online.]<\/p>\n

\u201cAdopted\u201d Seminarian Thankful for Congregation\u2019s Generosity<\/h4>\n

Imagine Jason Bryan-Wegner\u2019s amazement when he found out he was adopted\u2026by a congregation. The first-year master of divinity student recently received a letter informing him that American Lutheran Church in Sun City, Ariz., will pay half his tuition throughout his seminary education, as part of Luther Seminary\u2019s Adopt-a-Seminarian program. www.luthersem.edu\/Elerts\/more_story.asp#adopted [Read more about Jason and American Lutheran Church.]<\/p>\n
