<\/p>\nLuther Seminary students were invited to participate in a photo contest this fall, sharing how they see theological education through their various paths to ministry reflected in the world around them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These are the steps leading to residential focus session (RFS) classes this fall. The leaves somehow found their way to the steps. They are trod on but still beautiful\u2014like RFS, which can be exhausting but full of bright hope, curiosity, friendship, and challenging learning. \u2014Jessica<\/strong> Kuhns<\/strong> \u201827<\/strong> M.Div.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
