The event is in Dubuque, Iowa, and explores the theme “Managing Change and Transforming Conflict in Congregations: Leading in an Age of Polarization.” Speakers David Brubaker, Peter Soli, and Beth McCaw will guide large-group presentations. There are multiple workshops. Thanks to donors, most expenses for this experience will be covered for up to three students. Please express your interest promptly to secure your place by sending an email to Jon Anderson, Rural Ministry Director, janderson008@luthersem.edu. Transportation will be provided for those three Luther Seminary students. People who may be closer to Wartburg and interested should also be in touch. This year, a Zoom version of the conference is available. This will also be supported if you are an interested student.
