“Religion and Pop Culture” with Dr. Bill Anderson begins September 29, 2015. This four-part Quest series explores the connections between religious faith, especially Christianity, and popular expressions of culture. The instructor is the Rev. Dr. Bill Anderson, professor of Biblical Studies at Concordia University of Edmonton. Dr. Anderson holds a Ph.D. in Old Testament and is rostered as a pastor in LCC. His longstanding interest in pop culture connects well with his role as founder and director of Concordia’s “Canadian Centre for Scholarship and the Christian Faith.”   Please join us on four Tuesday evenings in a row, between September 29 and October 20, from 7-9 p.m.  on the CLS campus or via web-based audio-video link.

Please join us in our celebration on September 21, 2015. The installation service will take place in the CLS Chapel at 10:45 am Rev. Dr. John Hellwege will be installed as Assistant Professor of Theology on Monday the 21st in the seminary chapel.  We welcome him to our faculty to serve many of the roles that were filled by Dr. Kettner in systematic and historical theology. He and his family are relocating to Edmonton by mid-September to begin his first year of teaching here. Thanks be to God for enabling this transition as we strive to provide the best pastoral training possible under our mission to "form servants for Jesus' sake."
