The year 2024 marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the Deutscher Bauernkrieg, also known as the “German Peasant’s War” or “Uprise of the Common Person.” In this webinar—Resilience and Revolution: The Role of Protest and Rebellion in Creating Social Change—on May 21, at 12:00 p.m., we will examine the role of protest and rebellion in creating social change. We will hear presentations from the Rev. Danielle Dokman—doctoral student and chapel staff at Luther Seminary—and the Rev. Dr. Anthony Bateza, as well as have a time of questions and answers. The webinar will be offered in both English and Spanish. Learn more and register.

We heard you say you’d like to have non-structured time to meet up outside of class. Join in on Zoom (links in email) for relaxing coffee hours every Tuesday evening (7:00 p.m. Central) and Thursday afternoon (2:00 p.m. Central). Maybe you’ll meet a new friend or run into someone you’ve been meaning to talk to. Keep an eye out for special guests—you never know who you’ll run into at Sola Café!
