As a reminder to all, exterior doors on campus remain locked at all times, and a Luther Seminary ID is required for building access. You will find—this fall only—that Olson Campus Center doors are unlocked during weekday afternoons and evenings to provide public access to the Smithsonian exhibit. Bockman and Gullixson Halls remain locked. Please keep your Luther Seminary ID with you at all times when you are on campus.

In this devotion, Hope Deutscher ’13 M.Div., notes that God sees beyond our outward appearances and knows our heart’s truth. Read today’s God Pause.

All are invited to the Dubliner this evening for beer and hymns with the Fleshpots of Egypt from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Student Affairs will be providing pizza. You are encouraged to carpool—there is not a shuttle for this event.

In this devotion, Kurt Keljo ’81 M.Div., ponders just how unexpected—even mind blowing—God’s forgiveness is and that what makes our God holy is God’s forgiveness, not God’s vengeance.

The free headshot sessions being offered during Fall 2025 RFS are not required but are an opportunity to have professional headshots done at no cost to you. One of these image could be used on your ID card, but the process of using an image from your headshot session on your ID card could take up to a few weeks. If you need a Luther Seminary ID card during your time on campus for Fall RFS, please work directly with those procuring ID cards and do not wait for your professional headshots.

In order to provide access to AI tools for the Luther Seminary community, OT has licensed some commercial AI tools. This is commonly known as operating in a “walled garden,” where some privacy protections are in place (often free AI tools lack privacy controls). You should avoid free AI tools for seminary work. In this context, the privacy protections are the following:
– What you enter is not used to train the AI model.
– What you enter is not reviewed by people.
For more information, visit the Luther Seminary Provided AI Tools webpage. The seminary’s Academic Honesty policy gives guidance to students on use of AI in their coursework.
