Learning Opportunity: This Thursday at 7:00 p.m. join us for a special opportunity to participate in a free video course as ELCA Presiding Bishop looks at what might Martin Luther do 500 years after his historic thoughts and writings shook the Christian church. She will apply his thoughts and writings to contemporary issues today. This class will probably last 90 minutes. The previously scheduled video on “What to do with disturbing biblical passages?” will be moved to February 23 at 7:00 pm.
