Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!

I am here for a number of days with my colleagues from the other eight seminaries. We spent Reformation weekend at the campus of Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) under the gracious hosting of Campus Pastors Nancy Connor and Dennis Sepper. (They are husband and wife, by the way, and the dog’s name is Rudy).

While at PLU we were able to worship with the community three times, Saturday evening, Sunday morning and Monday morning. All three services celebrated the Reformation festival in grand fashion and made much use of the musical gifts and talents found on our ELCA college campuses—praise bands, brass ensemble and choirs. It was a treat for the ears.

After each service we had opportunity to meet and answer questions of perspective students. We also hosted a breakfast with the religion faculty and enjoyed food and fellowship with them. It great to be here.
