You are invited to help us honor the life and work of renowned theologian Joseph Sittler. We hope you can be part of an informal gathering on Saturday, June 28 at Minnehaha Regional Park at 1:00 p.m. central. The event was originally scheduled last fall and postponed for better weather and more participation. The gathering will take place a mile downstream from Minnehaha Falls, at a new park bench installed in Sittler’s honor, near where Minnehaha Creek meets the Mississippi River. This scenic location was chosen to reflect Sittler’s belief that “nature is a theater of Grace.” Stewart Herman, visiting fellow at the Christensen Center on Vocation at Augsburg College and retired faculty of religion at Concordia College–Moorhead, is organizing the event and shares: “God’s Word is active in nature, which to the eyes of faith can be seen when the Minnehaha rushes to the Mississippi. We gather to honor Joseph Sittler’s path-breaking incorporation of ecology into Lutheran theology by sharing, individually, our favorite ideas from his work. Bring your favorite quote!” For more information, reach out to Dr. Herman at herman@cord.edu​.

The Office of the Registrar is closed Wednesday 6/25 through Friday 6/27. We will reopen on Monday 6/30. Registrar@luthersem.edu will be monitored occasionally during this time.

To support students who may be facing food insecurity, Luther Seminary operates a direct-order grocery process for the seminary community. Luther Seminary’s Grocery Assistance Program is a lifeline for students facing food insecurity. Started during the pandemic, this vital program continues to provide essential groceries to an average of 25 students each week. Through the program, students can request necessary food items that are then carefully processed, purchased, and delivered to campus by dedicated volunteers. This initiative not only helps students meet their nutritional needs but also fosters a sense of community and support within the seminary. Your generous donation will ensure that this program can continue to make a real difference in the lives of Luther Seminary students. On the Grocery Assistance Program webpage, you can make a one-time or recurring gift to support this important ministry.
