YG week two

The second week of the ELCA Youth Gathering has begun and there are Lutheran youth and adults everywhere in downtown San Antonio.

My day today was spent in the Interaction Center--a large open space in the Henry B. Gonzalez convention center where Gathering participants can learn about ministries of the ELCA and do so in an interactive way. The seminaries have an interactive display where participants can take photos of themselves as future leaders in the church. So my colleagues from the other seven seminaries (see photo, left) and I spent the day taking pictures of groups and individuals in our display. Take a look at the photos below for a glimpse of the future leaders of the church:
