Honoring of Theologian Joseph Sittler

This event has been postponed until April 2025.

An informal gathering to celebrate the life of Joseph Sittler will be held Sunday, October 13, and 3:00 p.m., in Minnehaha Regional Park. The exact location is a mile downstream from the Minnehaha Falls, at a park bench located close to where Minnehaha Creek empties into the Mississippi River.

Why this location? Sittler, a renowned theologian, famously declared that “nature is a theater of Grace”.  God’s Word is active in nature, which to the eyes of faith can be seen when Minnehaha rushes to the Mississippi. We gather to honor his path-breaking incorporation of ecology into Lutheran theology by sharing, individually, our favorite ideas from his work. Come and share!
