"Chicks on Tour"

I am on the road again with my colleagues and we have titled this trip, "Chicks on Tour," because it is all women. See photo: from left to right: Louise Johnson, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia; Shelly Allen, Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary; Me; Krista Johnson, Wartburg Seminary; Stacey Anderson, Trinity Seminary.

Our first stop was on Sunday night, Oct. 9th at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St Paul, MN) Lutheran Student Movement/Lutheran Campus Ministry's evening worship service followed by a meal.


We gathered with Campus Pastors Lisa Simonsen and Jerie Smith, U of M students and other guests; it was a delightful evening.



The next morning we were off to Augsburg College, Minneapolis, MN. There we joined the community for chapel. I preached and met with perspective students for lunch. An enjoyable morning.

After lunch we headed south to Iowa and Wartburg College in Waverly. There we met with perspective students at the OPII (pizza place across from the college) for pizza and pop. During the meal we talked with the students about what a seminary education has to offer. We covered the nuts and bolts of the candidacy and application processes and enjoyed a great question/answer time. I unfortunately forgot to take pictures of these lovely students and us chowing and talking--my apologies--and they were a good-looking bunch, too.

Tomorrow it is back to Wartburg and then on to Luther College in Decorah, IA.
