Freed in Christ to engage our neighbors in a multi-religious world, Christians live and work in an increasingly multi-ethnic and multi-religious context. How does this affect their calling to serve their neighbors and their community? What resources does the Lutheran Christian tradition offer? Woven into this book are more than fifty stories of ELCA inter-religious engagement. These examples from local ministry settings are supplemented by practical tips, theological reflection, and historical analysis. The result is a guide for study, discussion, and action as a contribution toward the 500th observance of the Reformation in 2017 and beyond.
Carol Schersten LaHurd has served as lecturer in World Religions at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Darrell Jodock is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and is Professor Emeritus at Gustavus Adolphus College where he served as the Drell and Adeline Bernhardson Distinguished Professor of Religion.
