Methodist theologians and ministers have impacted global Christianity—from John and Charles Wesley in the 18th century to today’s prolific preacher Will Willimon, who will be our guest speaker at Luther Seminary’s Aus Memorial Lecture on June 17. Check out this brief bibliography of Methodist theology and ministry.

Luther Seminary is restarting the Campus Safety Committee. The purpose of the committee is to identify and review plans for maintaining an overall safe environment conducive to living, learning, and working together. The committee will also advise the President’s Office and Enterprise Leadership Team on issues relating to supporting a safe campus environment. The committee will consist of ten members. Four members will represent facilities, marketing and communications, technology, and Title IX. Two members will represent students and student workers. The remaining four members will be employee volunteers. Of the four employee volunteers, at least one should be a faculty member and one should be a staff member. No more than one volunteer can manage other employees. If we have too many volunteers, we will select four randomly from the pool of volunteers. Volunteers will serve a term of one year. If you are interested in volunteering, please email Chris Jacobsen at cjacobsen003@luthersem.edu by end of day on June 6.
