Get your singing voices ready! The Luther Seminary community is invited to “Hymntap at the Dubliner” with the Fleshpots of Egypt, featuring our own Dr. Rolf A. Jacobson, tonight from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Hymntap is a hymn sing in a secular setting—an Irish-American pub, the Dubliner (corner of University and Vandalia). Some call this “beer and hymns.” Students Services will be providing Toppers pizza for those who prefer “pizza and hymns.” (Gluten free and vegan options available.) The music is okay, the singing is better, and the fellowship is the best.

On this “MLK Day” and the week following, Luther Library offers a wide arange of bibliographic resources on King’s life and legacy, especially these new book titles on MLK. Note also the New Book List that features two brand new titles by Luther Sem Faculty, Amy Marga and Jennifer Wojciechowski.
