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.
