ONLINE: 40th Annual Rural Ministry Conference
2021-03-08 08:30 - 15:30 | IA
Engaging and Ministry with Cultural Traditionalists
THIS EVENT IS CO-SPONSORED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBUQUE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
We live in a deeply divided society with divisions along political, social, cultural, urban/rural lines. This conference will be helpful for pastors who see these divisions in their communities and congregations and are looking for ways to minister to all people.
Our keynote Speaker Tex Sample will explore this division by looking at a key demographic, cultural traditionalists. Cultural traditionalists are the largest demographic in rural America and one of the largest in the country. This demographic is not limited by age, gender, or denomination—who knows—you may be a cultural traditionalist.
The presentations of Tex Sample will provide a description of this important group and offer suggestions for working with cultural traditionalists. These presentations are valuable not only for small town and rural congregations but will provide a greater understanding of this demographic found in many, if not most, congregations.

Advent Vespers Livestream
2020-12-06 17:00 | IA
Join us for Advent Vespers on December 6th on Facebook Live!

Advent means “coming,” and it names the season that prepares us to receive the Lord Jesus, who has come in the flesh, who will come again, and who comes among us even now. This Advent, we cry out for the One who comes, and we focus on the Good Shepherd, who is the redemption of the whole creation. The angels who appeared to Zechariah, Mary, and Joseph all proclaimed, “Fear not!” God’s word also breaks into the fears of our world with the promise of Christ. Indeed God is our salvation; we will trust and will not be afraid.

Fear not! Christ is coming soon.
Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

The Grace Institute offers renewal and transformation for individuals and congregational groups, laypersons, deacons and pastors.

The eight quarterly retreats from August 2019 to May 2021 all meet at Shalom Spirituality Center in Dubuque, IA. Presenters and musicians for Grace Institute’s ninth program include Pastor Amy Zalk Larson, Pastor Lenny Duncan and Prof. Craig Nessan. Music and worship leaders include Greg Berg, Hans Peterson, Richard Bruxvoort Colligan, Mary Preus and Tom Witt. The Grace Institute alumni list includes almost 300 pastors and laypersons from around the country.
Past participants have spoken of Grace Institute as a “community of transformation and healing,” “a place of trust” and “a time of deep renewal.” One graduate recounted the experience of Grace Institute with a poetic touch: “After two years, many hours of reading and study, much laughter, some tears, and more transcendent moments than I could have imagined, I am covered in the dust of Grace. Thank you.”

2019 LAR Faculty

REV. DR. ANN FRITSCHEL
“Stewardship for the Next Generation”
We will look at holistic understandings of stewardship that may help millennials and generation Z engage in the vocation of stewardship and assist congregations in their ministries. Topics will include the stewardship of creation, finances, Lutheran traditions and congregational history.
Professor Ann Fritschel, a Wartburg Seminary graduate, celebrated her 30th anniversary of ordination in 2016. After serving churches in Dickinson, Mohall and Hamerly N.D., she got her Ph.D. from Emory University and joined the Wartburg Faculty in 1996. With a strong interest and passion in rural ministry, she also serves as the Director of the Center for Theology and Land. Another passion of hers is a holistic understanding of stewardship. She enjoys traveling, reading and needlepoint.

REV. DR. CARMELO SANTOS
“Thinking About God in The Age of Brain Science:
Musings for a Critical Liberation Theology of The Brain”
We will explore what brain and cognitive scientists are saying about the way the brain represents reality to itself and how religious narratives and rituals have the potential to shape, positively or negatively, the way people perceive reality and engage in meaningful action in the world. We will also explore how theology does not have to be a passive recipient of scientific knowledge but rather can be an active (critical and constructive) dialogue partner with the sciences of the Brain/Mind in the common project of plumbing the depths of the mystery of what it means to be human. Finally, we will end by imagining how theology and the sciences of the mind/brain can work together to inform a more effective praxis of the faith and guide our commitment for the liberation of the poor and oppressed and the flourishing of life in our planet.
Carmelo is a professorial lecturer at Georgetown University and Senior Pastor of Hope Lutheran Church, a congregation of the Metropolitan Washington D.C. Synod (ELCA). He specializes on the dialogue between Science and Theology, specifically between the Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Theological Anthropology and Pneumatology. He also teaches in the areas of Liberation, Decolonial and Latin American Lutheran theologies. He received his M.Div., Th.M. and Ph.D. from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, where he wrote his dissertation, Symptoms of God’s Spirit? A Dialogue Between Pneumatology and the Cognitive Sciences, under the supervision of Antje Jackelén, the current archbishop of the church of Sweden. As a pastor, Carmelo is actively involved in the immigrants rights movement and was invited last year to speak at the U.S. Senate as expert witness on the theological and ethical reasons for the opposition of faith communities to the separation of children from their parents as part of the U.S. Immigration policy. He just finished a term serving as the editor of the journal of Lutheran Ethics and Director of the ELCA Theological Roundtable. Carmelo lives in Arlington, VA where he shares his life with his wife, Jennifer, their two kids, their dog and fish.

REV. MICHAEL L. BURK
”Musings of a Bishop Embarking on his Last Year of Service”
Grounded in the gathering of God’s people around the means of grace and informed by scripture, Bishop Burk will attempt to drive home his/our conviction that the church’s singular mission is the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ.
The Rev. Michael L. Burk is bishop of the Southeastern Iowa Synod of the ELCA. He is a graduate of Wartburg College, Wartburg Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and the University of Iowa (MA and Ph.D. in American Studies). Prior to his election in 2008, he served as the ELCA Executive for Worship and Liturgical Resources. He was granted an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree by Wartburg Theological Seminary in recognition of his evangelical leadership. Bishop Burk contributes to the ELCA’s advocacy efforts on matters related to hunger and poverty and he has served as the Vice Chair of the ELCA Conference of Bishops.
History
Modeled after similar continuing education events for pastors and spouses in Germany, Dr. J. Michael Reu designed and directed the first academy in 1937 at Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque, IA. It was the first Lutheran continuing education event in this country, with an original registration fee of $5.00 for the 10 days. The academy remained an annual event in Dubuque for the next 31 years, with a brief respite during World War II. Before it was moved to Colorado in 1969, Dr.William Streng, Professor of Christian Education at Wartburg, expanded the format of the academy to include pastors, spouses, and families in a setting that focused on a blend of theological education and relaxation. Today the Luther Academy of the Rockies may be the only LifeLong Learners event in the country that includes education for the entire family. Please contact Lorice Amlin at 563-589-0325 with questions.
