CLS Offers Short Term Course on Islam, Christianity, and Religious Diversity

By
How do we navigate this world of religious pluralism? Many of us have Hindu neighbours, Muslim acquaintances, and atheist or agnostic relatives. Concordia Lutheran Seminary is offering an M.Div. level course that addresses these issues. Drawing on both anthropological and theological insights, this course aims to be a friendly, charitable, and hospitable study of other religions, focusing closely on Islam.

The instructor, Rev. Ken Chitwood, is an LCMS pastor and accomplished scholar. The course will explore Islam, study Christian-Muslim relations (past and present), and consider how Christians might foster peace-making in inter-religious encounters on a broader scale.

When: January 3 – 14, 2018, 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Where: Concordia Lutheran Seminary (7040 Ada Blvd NW, Edmonton)

Participants are required to hold a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) to enroll. For academic credit, tuition is $840. LCC churchworkers may audit the course for $100.


To register, please contact the registrar, Anna Yang, at registrar@concordiasem.ab.ca or 780-474-1468 ext 227 by November 30, 2017.

First Annual Research Forum

By Anonymous
On September 11 CLS promoted its first Annual Research Forum. Faculty and a guest presenter discussed the Theological research they completed in the past year.
A graduate school's vocation - as it is for any university - is carried out on a triangular basis, with each point supporting and sustaining the others:
· Teaching (in the sense of formal education)

As an academic place, our school is also a place, then, where knowledge is revisited, built and shared in formal and informal education.
Our seminary supports each professor's research by allocating time and means for formal research.

The inaugural forum’s guest presenter was Rev. Mark Sander, pastor in Mannsville, AB, who sha…
