A Forgotten Luther Symposium
Scripture gives us a dramatic and eloquent description of the tension between loyalty to gods of particular nations, ideologies, races, places, on the one hand, and loyalty to the one God of universal justice on the other. Yahweh holds a great council and summons the gods of injustice (the gods of blood and soil, country and color, family and race) to account. As the logo for this series proclaims from Psalm 82, the verdict is in: Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all nations belong to you.
The Forgotten Luther Symposium will gather speakers like Amanda Tyler, Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, and Rep. Jamie Raskin to discuss a Lutheran response to Christian nationalism on Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, at Saint Luke Lutheran Church in Silver Spring, MD.
