The leadership of the International Students Association (ISA), in collaboration with the Office of International Student and Scholar Affairs (ISSA), invites the Luther Seminary community to a Farewell Program and Dinner in honor of our graduating international students on Tuesday, May 20, 3–5 p.m. in OCC Dining Room A. Join us as we celebrate the achievements of our international graduates and send them off with joy, food, and fellowship. Dress is semi-formal/cultural attire.

In this devotion, Mark Niethammer ’09 M.Div., prays that we might find a good place to pray. Read today’s God Pause.

Answer: The all-important Council of Nicaea, resulting in the Nicene Creed, dates to May 325. Check out Luther Seminary Library’s bibliography of Nicene theology and the Early Church Fathers.

This year’s Aus Memorial Lecture will be an extended conversation on Jesus Christ as the instigator and sustainer of Christian evangelism. In taking the Good News to those who have not yet heard and responded to the news, we join Jesus in his relentless determination to invite all into his coming realm. Opportunities and impediments to evangelism will be discussed and encouragement offered for today’s pastors to lead in evangelizing. Will Willimon has written extensively on evangelism, has been an evangelist as a campus minister, and as a bishop has led church planting ministries.
