Seminary Update

By -
Wednesday night's fire only burned a small area in the library basement, but it left a huge mess: the smell and residue of burnt plastic, ash, and soot that found its way to cover every surface and pollute the air in every room.
The restoration crew arrived on Friday morning to begin reclamation: 15 large capacity air filtration units (OmniAire 2000V HEPA Negative Air Machines) have been running non-stop since then, needing blackened filters changed periodically.
The smell has improved greatly - a huge first step.
The cleanup of offices has also begun, and classrooms, chapel, and other public areas will follow.
The rich library resources are still covered, waiting the next series of decisions about how best to move forward.
For today, as wonderful as the ABC District and CUCA have been at welcoming us, everyone looks forward to getting back into the offices and classrooms soon.

HIS 241 - Studies in Christian Literature: The Inklings during the era of Fascism

By -

In the 1930s and 40s two relatively unconnected things happened in Europe.  In Oxford, England a group of Christian writers formed the world’s most famous informal writing club, the Inklings.  This group, led by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, along with Owen Barfield, Charles Williams and, to a lesser extent, numerous others, met to discuss ideas, trends, and their writing projects.  On the other side of the English Channel, this same period witnessed the growth of Fascism and Nazism, the Holocaust, and the outbreak of the most devastating war in history.   This course will look at the writings published by the Inklings, Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams specifically, between 1937 and 1945 and try to discern how they addressed the growing question of evil in the world.  This course can be considered a case-study in how Christians responded to the problem of evil in the world. This study will address each work as literature but looking also at the Christian truths confessed in them and how t

MARK THE DATE: Concordia Lutheran Seminary, Edmonton Sacred Convocation Friday, May 29, 2020 7:00 p.m. MDT Live ONLINE at: https://youtu.be/fyo95XOsz54 Watch from home as SEVEN new pastoral candidates receive their first Call into ministry, and TWO vicar/interns are placed for service. We thank God for His marvelous blessing upon these men and their families, and upon His Church here in Canada, as Lutheran servants and congregations are connected through this assignment. Graduating students will also receive their degrees and theological diplomas. Honoree Fran Wershler will receive the Faith in Life recognition. Nearly two-thirds ($650,000) of the funding needed to train these pastors and vicar/interns comes from congregations and individuals across the Church. Thank you for your critical role as a donor to train these pastors (and deacons). Because we are mission minded, a tithe of our convocation donations will also support the LCC mission work in Southeast As
