As Lutherans we have been described as a “both/and church in an either/or world.” While enjoying a continental breakfast, you will learn some of the basics of the Lutheran tradition and the both/and statements that define us. After the meal, a local artist-educator will lead us in a creative activity to make something beautiful out of the broken bits we carry with us.

Early Lutherans were called protestants. Explore why protest, thoughtful questioning, and grace lit the Protestant Reformation over 500 years ago and how it can help you love your neighbor in a complex world. This class is held at the Easter by the Lake location.

What are the ideas and practices that Lutherans should be eager to affirm? We tend to throw around big words like grace, faith, and justification but what do they really mean and why are they still important? In this class we will look at the Lutheran “core” and see how it might connect with faith and life today. Mark Tranvik served as Lutheran pastor for ten years and taught in the religion department at Augsburg University for twenty-five years. He is presently Professor of Reformation History and Theology at Luther Seminary in St. Paul.
