DL students, we look forward to working with you this year to represent your voices. Please feel free to reach out to us with suggestions, issues, or concerns that are important to you so that we can share them with Luther Seminary’s student council. Or feel free simply to reach out to say “hello” and introduce yourself! We hope to have a “Delightful DL” (in-person) meet-up during Spring RFS one evening in the lobby of the Fairfield hotel—stay turned for more info. In the meantime, you can contact us at ktakahashi001@luthersem.edu or kvance001@luthersem.edu.
—Kaylee Vance and Kari Takahashi, Your DL Student Council Reps

Gustavo Gutiérrez died last month at the age of 96. Gutiérrez “was a Peruvian philosopher, Catholic theologian and Dominican priest who was one of the founders of liberation theology in Latin America. His 1971 book “”A Theology of Liberation”” is considered pivotal to the formation of liberation theology” (Wikipedia). Check out Luther Seminary library’s brief bibliography on Gutiérrez, Liberation Theology, and Global Theologies. Here also are several obituaries and memorial tributes.
