Adult Ed Schedule
Oktoberfest - No Class (Oct. 27)
Faith and Politics - Nov. 3
With another presidential election looming large in front of us, and with so much division, fear, and uncertainty surrounding who will become our next president, it is important for us to spend some time discussing how our Christian faith informs and interacts with our politics. Leading this session will be the Rev. Dr. David Loy, who serves as Dean of Christ College (the school of theology, philosophy, and church vocations) at Concordia University (he and his family are also members of LoC). His PhD is in philosophy with a particular focus on political philosophy. Come and learn how our calling as Christians informs our calling as citizens.
