2024 Fall Joint Ministerium
October 31 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Reformation Rekindled: Practicing A Living Catechism
Woodlake Lutheran Church
2120 W 76th St, Richfield
Join us at the Joint Fall Ministerium of the Saint Paul Area and Minneapolis Area synods at Woodlake Lutheran Church, Richfield!
Martin Luther wrote the Small Catechism as a teaching tool for faith, using all of the media at his disposal – stained glass windows, hymns and beer songs, paintings, and buildings. Today we have infinite media at our fingertips. What would it look like to introduce a Living Catechism to help share a vital and active faith with our people? Church Anew and the Lutheran Center at St. Olaf have been working with hundreds of faith leaders to shape such a resource. Join a conversation where they share learnings, experiments, and invite all of us to co-create A Living Catechism for this time and place.
Featured speakers: Dr. Deanna Thompson, Director of the Lutheran Center for Faith, Values, and Community and Martin E. Marty Regents Chair in Religion and the Academy; Rev. Matthew Fleming, Executive Director of Church Anew; and Rev. Peter Carlson Schattauer, Associate Director of the Lutheran Center for Faith, Values, and Community.
