“It seems to me that we shall have our hands full to keep these commandments, prac-ticing gentleness, patience, love toward enemies, chastity, kindness, etc.,
and all that is involved in doing so.…”
|
– Martin Luther, “Conclusion of the Ten Commandments,” The Large Catechism
|
What is involved in “keeping the commandments” today, particularly when consid-ered within the public realm? As Lutherans, what distinctive contributions do we bring to polarizing debates concerning economic and relational justice?

Join us in April.
We promise insights for ministry in a pluralistic society. |
