Join us today—Thursday, October 3—at 6:15 p.m. in OCC 10 and on Zoom (link in email) for a virtual visit with Mónica Guzmán, renowned journalist and author of “I Never Thought of It That Way.” Over the summer, many of us have been reading, discussing, and learning from this book, which was the title chosen for our ABIDE all-community book club. After Ms. Guzman’s twenty-minute address, Cody Sanders will lead us in a thirty-minute discussion so that we can all reflect and digest what we have learned.

Join Professor Guillermo Hansen for a study course in Guatemala and Mexico from January 9–22, 2025. Through an immersive field experience, this course explores the history and mission of our companion Lutheran churches and ecumenical partners in these countries, focusing particularly on their ministry with indigenous peoples, migration, and human rights. Participants will share in the life of the communities visited and take part in local worship services and spiritual practices. The course also seeks to familiarize students with the historical, social, and cultural features of this region through visits to archeological sites (Tikal, Templo Mayor in Mexico City), conversations with local leaders and scholars, experiencing cultural-historical venues (Antigua, Anthropological Museum in Mexico City, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe). To indicate your interest in learning more about the course, including registration details, contact Jody Nyenhuis, jnyenhuis001@luthersem.edu.
