This course will be offered asynchronously via Moodle, with a required wrap-up session from 12:30-4:30 p.m. (Central) on January 25th. Questions? Contact: contextuallearning@luthersem.edu.
God Pause for September 21: Matthew 20:1-16
In this devotion, Luther Anderson ’76 writes that God calls us to work alongside and not over or above our fellow travelers. Read today’s God Pause.
Pubs and Profs with Cody Sanders
Join us tonight, September 21, for our first Pubs and Profs of the year with our new Congregational Care Professor Cody Sanders! We’ll gather at Station 280 (2554 Como Ave #7, St Paul, MN 55108; walking distance from campus!) at 6 p.m.! Appetizers will be provided. Entrees and alcoholic beverages will be on your own.
Topic: Sci-Fi Spiritual Care
How can ministers develop speculative futurist frameworks to cultivate caring communities for potential futures filled with both promise and peril? Can we engage in mental-spiritual time travel to visit possible futures? How do we discern God’s call from the pluriverse toward practices of feral hope amid myriad possibilities for flourishing among our human and more-than-human kin?
Reach out to communitylife@luthersem.edu or Natalie Wussler (nwussler001@luthersem.edu) with questions or carpool needs.
Convocation This Friday
Students, faculty, and staff, please join President Robin Steinke as we gather this Friday in the Chapel of the Incarnation for Convocation at 11 a.m. A celebratory picnic will follow the service.
What’s Your Favorite Book by C.S. Lewis?
Known for his fantasy and children’s books, apologetics, and life issues like grief and pain, Lewis’s writings resonate with many of us … and Luther library has them all. Check out this bibliography for C.S. Lewis with much more than his books. And while you’re at it, check out some of these other ‘Theologian Bibliographies’, dozens we’ve created—from the ancients to today’s most current theologians, from Augustine to Amos Yong!
